DAY 4,5 AND 6 OF 100 DAYS OF CODE: My weekend with Javascript, Freecodecamp's Basics of javascript

 

While I had some prior experience with JavaScript, I knew that there was still much to learn. So, I turned to FreeCodeCamp’s Basics in JavaScript course as a starting point. I began the course on Day 4 of my coding challenge, eager to dive into this exciting new language.

Days 4, 5, and 6 of my coding challenge fell on a weekend, which gave me the perfect opportunity to devote some serious time to learning JavaScript. I started on Friday, working my way through the basics of the language. I was excited to discover the many ways in which JavaScript can be used to create interactive, dynamic web pages.

However, since Saturday is a Sabbath, I refrained from coding during the day and waited until evening to continue my studies. During this time, I reflected on the importance of taking breaks and finding balance in my work as a programmer. While I am passionate about coding and love to learn new things, I also recognize the importance of rest and rejuvenation.

With this in mind, I returned to my studies on Sunday, eager to continue exploring the world of JavaScript. I learned about variables, data types, functions, and more. I also discovered the many frameworks and libraries that are available for JavaScript, including React, Angular, and Vue. The possibilities seemed endless, and I was excited to continue learning more.

By Monday afternoon, I had completed the fundamentals of the JavaScript course and had even built my first fully developed JavaScript project - an age calculator. This project allowed me to apply the concepts that I had learned in a practical way, and it was incredibly rewarding to see my code come to life.

Looking back on my weekend with JavaScript, I am struck by the many insights and discoveries that I made. I realized that learning a new programming language is not just about mastering syntax and semantics, but also about understanding the philosophy and culture behind it. I discovered that JavaScript is a versatile and powerful language with many applications in web development and beyond.

Most importantly, I recognized the value of taking the time to invest in my own growth as a programmer. By setting aside a weekend to learn JavaScript, I was able to deepen my understanding of this language and to expand my horizons as a developer. I am excited to continue exploring JavaScript and to see where it takes me in my coding journey.

If you are thinking about learning a new programming language, I highly recommend giving JavaScript a try. And, if you are looking for a great place to start, I can’t recommend FreeCodeCamp’s Basics in JavaScript course enough. Happy coding!
