Learning JavaScript by videos

Hi guys!

As you probably know, learning new things online is super cool possibility how to learn something very quickly, without going on to any courses outside of your bed, haha. Once I am learning HTML and JavaScript, I found very good video on YouTube on JavaScript tutorial for beginners.

The video lasts more than six hours but you will got sooo much of new information! It definitely worth watching it. You will go across the very basics into the real building of a code.

Java tests

As there is the end of the Online Publishing classes, I am trying to take some tests which are prepared at the SoloLearn app. It can show how much have you learn something and what else would be nice to study more.

I think the questions in the tests are sometimes rather difficult and there is no possibility to pass them unless you take the courses again, which is not very practical and it is also very time consuming. The good thing is that some questions you can know because there are lot of possibilities of answers. But in those questions where you have to insert some code into that task is sometimes very difficult if you do not know each of the blank spaces. It means, when you know one and not the other one, you can't continue and there is no possibility for hint or something like that. Therefore you can never finish the test like that if you don't know the code for each blank space. This, I think, is very very bad for learning.

JS #donotforget things

I think it’s also important to note here some knowledge, we already should have. Or at least I should have them. I don’t want to forget those basics and I would to work on it even when I will be back in the Czech Republic. I think, this kind of aquiring of knowledge and also blogging about it it’s very interesting. It works little bit like an excercise book. So here I want have those things to be able to return to them whenever I need:

DATATYPE:

= refers to the type of values with which a program can work. JavaScript can hold many data types such as numbers (which can be written with or without decimals) strings, arrays, and more. 

STRINGS

= are used for storing and manipulating text and a string can be any text that appears within quotes. You can use single or double quotes. 

I think that is very important to know....for example:

var name = ‘John’;

var text = “My name is John Smith”;

but you can also use the quote inside of the string it means you will write:

var text = “My name is ‘John’ ”;

BOOLEANS 

= booleans can have one of two values. Either true or false. 

-> That means, you can use it, when you need values such as Yes/No, On/Off or True/False

The other important thing is DECREMENT

= decrement decrements the numeric value of its operand by one. If placed before the operand, it returns the decremented value. If placed after the operand, it returns the original value and then decrements the operand.

Website is coming! Will I use JavaScript?

Hi!

As was telling you in the last post, our website is nearly done. I am now learning about Data Types in JavaScript and even though I know HTML I am not very confident in going into the “deep” database of our website because I don’t want to ruin it.

What I found very interesting though is the fact that I am starting to understand some things and commands in the website. Which I think it’s pretty great! Because I can imagine me one year before seeing my boyfriend (he is frontend and backend developer) as he was building something on the web and I was completely fascinated by all of the lines and things and did not know what he is doing at all.

I am still not able to tell you what he is doing every time I watch him. But as I have started to learn also JavaScript here in Leuven, I can understand some things and I don’t feel lost! I love this feeling when realizing, nothing is too hard for you if you just try hard...again and again...

Hi all. (or at least someone who reads my blog, haha :)

Last 14 days I was not very active there, because we put all the effort into the building of our website The Happiness Hub. We had few issues but finally we manage to solve it also with our professor. We still have to do some finalizations but I think that everything is pretty good so far. Even though we had a few issues and did not know what to do with them at first. :)

I am still trying to learn JavaScript, but it is not very easy! I find HTML much more easier! I think I will start to learn CSS when come back from Belgium to Czech Republic rather than JavaScript. And maybe then I will start with js again.

But for now I am still trying. I think the Sololearn app is good but sometimes it goes to quickly into the topic. I sometimes take notes from it, when I think I need to know that for the following chapter and that I will definitely need it. But I have still sometimes feeling that I really don’t know the answer in the Sololearn.

I enclose one of the pages in Sololearn which I think it’s important to know and to have them accessible everytime.

Sololearn ♥️

Hi! Trying to get better in programming js, or I mean - trying to learn it. And I found super cool apps for learning how to code for free. (I hope they were for free, I just put my finger there...)

So, I downloaded js and HTML app, as I want to improve both. And I love it! Every lesson is with the introduction so you get to know the topic and then you dive in with interactive quizes and excercises.

What you will really appreciate is the fact, that every chapter has its own inteoduction where you get to know the topic, and then there is the excercise where you can try your knew knowledge.

It´s very similar to Codecademy, but I love the fact, that you can play with this app on your phone whenever.

In the first printscreen you can see the introduction and in the second there is the practical excercise.

Javascript beginnings

I will write this blog as I want to learn new things in coding. I already know basics of SEO and HTML because I work with those in my job but I think it’s very important to learn more and more if we have the possibility. 

And we have the possibility everyday, just have to start.

I would also try to learn CSS and Javascript. As I was thinking about Python or Javascript, as both are very useful and “sexy” nowadays, I then spoke with my boyfriend who works in IT. He told me that Javascript should be the right way for me right now...

Sooo...here I am, trying to do something in js...

My first steps of learning javascript will lead to codecademy, because It’s very useful “learning how to code” webpage. 

I have already started to do here HTML and CSS but let’s go for js now!
