Chapter 9 - initial code (circle) does not work

programming

I copied the code from the web version of the book, and it looks right to my eyes, but no circle:

`

From Data to UI #container { padding: 50px; background-color: #fff; }
`

Are you seeing any errors in the console?

Btw, are you the same Jesse Liberty from Silverlight fame?!!

:grinning:

Thanks for the quick response. The problem was an errant semicolon. Yup, that’s me.

That’s awesome. I lament a lot about Flash’s demise. Silverlight’s (and its focus on enterprise scenarios, XAML tools [I think we met a few times around this in person], and a C# programming option) demise is a close second haha.

The place where this lives on, to a degree, is in Xamarin programming.

You lament the loss of the C# programming option (as do I). Why then am I learning React which is JavaScript rather than Angular which uses TypeScript – which is much closer to C#?

You can use TypeScript with React too :wink: It even supports JSX (used by React) out of the box.
