#learning javascript

[snowcodes]

I got around to finishing my basics add-on and, I have already blasted my way through week 1 of SheCodes Plus!

I just submitted the end of week project and I think I should take 5 mins before I head on to week 2. I'm not sure where this spurt of motivation has come from, but I am riding this high and making sure I don't go through a silly burn-out. I love coding too much to get burnt out so quickly!

For those of you already on 'Plus', I can't wait to catch up with you and be able to chitty chat about things we have learned so far (and what we found helpful). As they say, sharing is caring 💜

I guess I really just wanted to start this side blog as a place to post about my coding journey and small little life things. I'm learning to code through multiple different sources and am currently focusing on HTML, CSS and Javascript...the main big three for frontend web development. I know there are lots more to look through, especially when I want to progress to backend...but for now, I need to focus on one thing at a time.

This isn't going to be an overnight thing, I know that for sure. It's a long journey I have ahead of me and I'm only a couple of weeks in, but I hope someday, I can look back and think 'Look at how far I've come on my coding journey'.

I am so psyched about this latest Udacity course I started, I can’t even explain it! I’m moving through it steadily, gobbling up this refresher of intermediate JS concepts. We’ve just started pushing into territory that was brand new to me, and... I’m understanding it! The current lesson just explained binding ‘this’ in a way that made so much sense, I feel like I Get It on a deep level. Ahhhhh :D

Going to do my best to write out a calculator using html, css and javascript today.

This will be my first project I've done in a little while, so hopefully it doesn't take too long! 😅

Finally, Javascript!

After at least a week of putting it off, thinking I wasn't ready, I've started to pick up Javascript. So far I've just learned variables and the alert/prompt, but at least it's something! I really, really hope this is going to help my future.

Learning Javascript

So I've got a Udemy course by Colt Steele I've been working on fairly slowly. I've just completed Section 7, and I'm also attempting to work though Hack Reactor/Galvanize's free Basic Prep Work.

Basically, anytime I get confused, I pause and switch from one to the other, which is probably a really weird way of doing things, but I like that I get the two different perspectives and it allows me to kind of step back and evaluate how I'm doing on the learning.
