Finally, after long weeks of waiting. My stickers have arrived

I'm a back-end developer trying to improve my front-end skills, is there any good website that I can replicate/remake so I can improve my skills?

I highly recommend my colleagues to read this book quickly, quickly!

Yesterday, I tried to code without googling to see how far I can go. After 20 minutes of coding I run into a problem. I just couldn't make my angularjs app to work with ASP.Net MVC antiforgerytoken. I tried my best to solve it but no luck.

After 2 hours I finally gave up and connect my laptop to network and search for answer, within a few seconds. Google give my this link: http://ojdevelops.com/2016/01/....

After only few minutes I finally make my code to work. And I realized that there is no way I can figure this things out using only my head. I still need the help of community to get things done.

So my question is. During the 80's and 90's how did the old programmers get themselves unstuck when problem like this arrive?

I downloaded the entire stackoverflow DB for offline use. And it's almost 94GB

I wonder if I can code at all and get things done one time without stackoverflow.

Still one of my favorite stackexchange question.

I spent 2 hours googling and scratching my head trying to implement asyc Tast<ActionResult> on asp.net MVC. I even copy and paste the exact sample code and still didn't work. It turns out that "Visual studio for Mac" doesn't support asynchronous calls.

This CORS is a huge bummer. It took me nearly 4 hours of pounding my head on keyboard trying to figure out why my "$http.post" doesn't work.
