i saw this concept online where you can have a second brain for things your brain can't hold and I didn't think it was important till i started going deep into Javascript and i kept encountering, going back and forth with information, articles and resources. Just so much to read so I created a Second Brain - Basically an organized Notion Page where I can sort everything out in order and @codomars inspired me to add Notes to it so I can easily go back and read my notes to refresh my memory on concepts, topics or mechanisms I need to remember and I have the Notion app installed on my phone so I can always read or reach out to my other brain when I need it.
I learned how to handle JavaScript features (default parameters, spread, rest, and destructuring).
And I finally reached the DOM chapeter, 'The Document Object' which contains representations of all the content on a page. I'm still discovering its methods and properties.
So far, I've learned about the most useful ones: getElementById(), querySelector, changing styles, manipulating attributes, and the append method.
I'm doing some silly practice exercises just to get more familiar with the DOM methods. The more I progress in my course, the more fun things seem to get. I'm really excited to start building stuff with code and combining HTML, CSS, and JS all together.
I hate hate hate making navigation bars responsive because, not going to lie, they are pretty simple in terms of the code itself but I keep forgetting how so I always take time to research how to do it by watching youtube videos on it. The code doesn't work then I try fixing it 500 times (really only 3 times) then it works. But glad that's over.
Decided to make the CSS responsive code on its own file rather than having it shoved at the bottom of my root CSS file because having to go back up and down is annoying, so I have them side-by-side like this! (〃 ω 〃)
Seems like I'm going to stay up coding this up~! ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆
"Hey, how do you view the page as a phone?!" - this chrome extension: ♡ LINK ♡
Kept learning more about functions and things are getting slightly more complex, i'm allowing myself to progress at slow pace and take the time to grasp everything by doing enough practice before jumping to the next lesson.
I also made a page in notion for my Javascript notes, idk why i thought using text doc to take notes was a good idea, notion is being a game changer honestly!
I met with old secondary school mates today at my church and when it was my turn to explain what I do as a job, they were like “HUH? We thought you would be into fashion or something arty?!” Confused and shocked I’m into computer science! 😳
I want to push for ‘you can be a super girly pink lover hyper feminine fashion girl and still be into computer science’. Most of my projects are cutesy-pink stuff, occasionally I do other colour scheme and themes, but it’s also what makes me happy so I continue making them! 🤭💻
Keep doing what you like in your own style. Don’t become something else because you’re part of a community and you want to “fit in”. I did that at the beginning and I hated it. I get judged now for how I do my programming but it’s just me adding my own twist to things! I may not be doing it the “right” way but it’s all fun and I’m learning! 😸💗
tech twitter : if u aren't a billionaire by 30 u are not gonna make it, if u aren't working for FAANG by 20 u aren't a real programmer, if u don't know everything that goes on in the computer don't even follow me
tech tumblr : oh u don't understand the "hello world" code? DM me I will personally guide u. yes here are some resources. im not a genius bcs I knew everything when I was 6...... everyone starts somewhere don't worry. 🥰
No this is so true. I’ve helped people on here with HTML and CSS (primarily for their NeoCities) and I’ve asked for help on here and it’s way less intimidating than on Twitter. Idk what they do over there but everyone seems to know it all but in a stuck up way? Maybe I’m on the wrong side of tech Twitter but I’m starting to dislike it :p
Here we have respectful support and resources between us, I feel very comfortable with the part of the tech community that I know.
On Twitter, in addition to those tweets that always say generic things to get likes or say problematic things to generate fights and also gain engagement, I also didn't feel comfortable and the flow of information there makes me anxious and overwhelmed.
It's even better here than instagram and I'm not even going to talk about the artistic and study community we have here (some with their problems too) but still better than on other networks.
And I add that I've never seen anyone from my part of the community being proud or arrogant about their knowledge. We talk and share what we know, but never in a tone of comparison and I've known longer than you.
I started the JS Functions chapter, and things are getting so much more interesting.
I thought by now I would have finished all the simple function exercises that I found on W3Resources, but it seems I still have much work to do to improve my problem-solving skills.
I always try to find the answer on my own and check the solution only after I hit a wall.
My approach is to start by:
Defining the task that I want to achieve.
Making a flowchart and designing the steps that the computer will perform.
And lastly, coding each step.
Even though sometimes the process can be tedious, the feeling you get after you press enter and it runs with no issues is surreal.
Is this how you all have been feeling when coding ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)
life is just throwing me for an absolute loop these days, but im starting my adventure into javascript :) i didn't do a ton of coding today, but i learned about the history of javascript as well as 2 ways of running it in the browser, both in html files within the script tag and in an REPL (also one way of declaring a variable cause i think there are others but im not sure) <3
POV: You’ve studied HTML and CSS, you’ve made some cool projects and now you’re moving on to learn JavaScript. If you're just starting out learning JavaScript, it can be helpful to have a list of beginner projects to work on in order to get your feet wet and gain practical experience.
I’ve combined a list of 5 mini projects to be working on - some I have done myself! Don’t worry, for each project I've added a video tutorial that you could use as a reference to help with your own version of the project!

Basic image gallery 📸
A web page displays a grid of images and allows the user to click on an image to view a larger version of it. This could come in handy when making Tumblr themes 👀
The JavaScript side: Handle the user's clicks!

Simple to-do list app 📝
A web page that allows the user to add, remove, and mark items on a to-do list.
The JavaScript side: Manipulate the page's HTML elements and store the to-do list data in the browser's local storage!

Basic calculator 🧮
A web page with a simple calculator that can perform basic arithmetic operations.
The JavaScript side: Handles user input, perform calculations, and display the results on the page!

Random quote generator 📜
A web page that displays a random quote from a predefined list of quotes each time the page is loaded or a button is clicked.
The JavaScript side: Selects a random quote from the list and displays it on the page.

Simple rock-paper-scissors game 🎮
A web page that allows the user to play a game of rock-paper-scissors against the computer. I did this project during my coding night classes! 😊
The JavaScript side: Handles user input, generates the computer's move and determines the winner of the game.

I hope this helps someone, it's really good to build projects as you're learning! JavaScript can be a bit tricky towards the harder concepts so it's good to have a good understanding of the basics, project building helps with that! Thanks for reading and have a nice day/night! 💻👍🏾
The past few days, I've been alternating between hitting the books and resting. It has taken me such a long break to recharge ^^'
That's the thing about living with chronic fatigue: it's hard to keep a steady routine. I'm trying to do my best while I got the energy.
I started reading JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web by Jon Ducket, and I'm truly enjoying the content. I find it well structured and easy to follow, it can totally be used as a manual for anyone starting with programming.
Currently I'm practicing JS Basics by completing small challenges, I keep finding myself checking the MDN site for references. I don't know how I'll be able to remember all the JS syntax and methods; there's so much to grasp!
