Hey friends! I’m Vikas Sankhla, Full Stack Developer and founder of Web Codder ✨
You might know how to code in JavaScript or build a React app, but guess what?
That’s only half the story. The other half?
It’s all about soft skills. The real-world power-ups you need to shine in tech. ✨
Let me show you the soft skills we teach along with coding, and how they make you unstoppable! 🏋️♂️
🤔 How to Google Like a Pro
Good developers don’t know everything.
Great developers know how to find answers fast! 🤮
Here’s how to search smart:
- Use specific keywords:
react useEffect empty array - Add error messages:
TypeError map is not a function - Use site filters:
site:stackoverflow.comorsite:github.com - Add quotes:
"Cannot read properties of undefined"
✨ Pro Tip: Read the first few answers and the comments — gold is usually there.
🎓 How to Use Git & GitHub
Git is like a time machine for your code.
GitHub is where you share your time-travel adventures! 🚀
Git Basics:
# Save changes

Must-Know Git Skills:
