Codecademy: Learn JavaScript - 11% complete
Reflection
Got a crash course about CSS flexbox and grid layout properties. I definitely feel like practicing is the only way I’m going to memorize all the different properties, values, and what they all translate to in practice. It really is like learning a new language and having to memorize vocabulary. I’ll be curious to see if there are parts of coding that are similar to the periodic table, in the sense that you inadvertently learn about elements you see/use often, but you don’t have to memorize the whole table of elements because you’ll always have access to it.
Just beginning JavaScript. This is what I’m really here to dive into. I’m hoping I genuinely learn info and don’t just end up regurgitating what they tell me to do without internalizing anything. I think I might want to try to get into web development, so this is the first step to see if that is viable.
