Winter break turned out to be a very successful time for me in my journey of learning how to code. It was by far the most productive time I’ve had coding. In fact, I spent 2 straight hours one day just coding. The reason as to why these past days have been so great is because I have started to move away from HTML and started learning some Javascript. I started new Javascript courses at codeacademy.com and udemy.com. It is rather different from what I have learned so far. Javascript uses an abundance of “if, then” statements such as:
if (hourNow > 12) {
greeting = ‘Good afternoon’;
}
// This would display the appropriate greeting based on the current time. And the two forward slashes at the beginning of last sentence assures that the computer won’t see what's written after it.
Beginning to learn Javascript has brought me to the decision to scrap what I previously had planned to do for my final product (which was to build a website). There are reasons as to why I have chose to not build a website but I will explain that when I present my final product. I am still going to incorporate HTML and CSS aspects into my final product (which is going to be a surprise), but I’m hoping to do something a little more entertaining than that. So far, I have really enjoyed coding with Javascript and although I have a little ways to go, I’m excited to present my final product
