Hey D!

I am officially done with the JavaScript course. I'll be taking about 2 months off to build projects with vanilla JS, CSS and HTML.

Special thanks to @airsaylongcome, as he helped me with a course - 100days of JavaScript by Zino, where I'd have to build a single project daily, but I'd try to go with *2 of the normal pace. I also downloaded a course on Data Structures and Algorithms by Colt Steele, as I'd try to start to learn about DSAs along side building projects.

Better days ahead D!

I found another opportunity for those interested in Cloud computing, DEVOPS and Network Engineering.. It's stated that it's free and there'd be an internship after the training.

Weekends is there especially on sundays even if it's 3-4 hours that you dedicate for yourself. Eventually it will pay off. stick to it and believe that it will happen.
You are never too old to start or achieve your goal even with your work schedule setbacks.
Only if you believe in yourself.

Thanks boss, I already feel it'd pay off grin

I've been able to dedicate about 3hours daily and it's been worth it.

Hey D! It's been a while, but I am here again, LOL grin

I am glad that I am making steady progress even though there are days I feel like giving up, but I just remember why I started out in the first place, and that tends to rekindle the zeal to continue.

I finished a module on Numbers and strings, where I learnt about the floating point precision, the .toFixed method, the Big integer, The global Number and Math objects and assoicated methods and properties such as the .random(), .floor, etc. I also learnt about Regular Expressions.

I also finished another module on Asynchronous JavaScript, where I learnt about synchronous code execution, asynchronous code execution, blocking code and event loop, the effect of multiple callbacks. I also learnt about promises

Another module on Promises is gone too as I learnt about how to create promises, how to chain multiple promises using the .then() method. I also learnt about error handling using the .catch() method, the async - await, and the other some other methods available for Promises, such as the Promise.race(), Promise.all(), and the Promise.allSettled.

I have also finished a module on HTTP requests and I sincerely loved and still love this module. I learnt about how to send HTTP requests, the different types of requests, the concept of JSON data and Parsing Data, how to get the response when we send a request, and an alternative way of sending requests using the fetch API.

Yesterday, I finished a module on JavaScript libraries, where I learnt about some third party JS libraries available and how they make life the life of a developer easier. I learnt the different methods of adding libraries - by downloading or by using the CDN link. I specifically learnt about AXIOS, a library that makes sending HTTP requests way easier. I delved into jQuery, but its capabilities can be done by core JS APIs. I also learnt about using npmjs.com to search for resources and documentation regarding JS libraries.

I also started creating basic javascript projects and they are really basic though grin

, but it keeps getting better. I created a counter app with live url: https://mirthosas.github.io/counter-app/

A random number generator app with live url : https://mirthosas.github.io/Random-Number-Generator/

A hex-colour generator app with live url: https://mirthosas.github.io/Hex-colour-generator/

It keeps getting better D!

Hey D!

I know I haven't updated you in a while, I just have had a lot to do recently.

So, I finished the module on Object Oriented Programming. I learnt about classes, inheritance, the static property, the super keyword, constructor functions, prototypes and related stuff.
I also learnt about the data- attribute, how to get box dimensions, how to control scrolling, how to load scripts dynamically, how to set timers and intervals, the location and history objects. I also learnt how to work with the date object.

Today, I completed a module on events, where I learnt about the different types of events: the different ways of listening to events, the phases of DOM events and event propagation. I also learnt about how to make DOM elements draggable, and how to mark the drop area.

Sincerely, most of these concepts seem pretty abstract, so I decided to download some javascript projects from youtube to solidify the knowledge gained.

Asides from learning, I also signed up to several platforms:
Firstly, I signed up with AltSchoolAfrica and the assessment test would be around the first week of February. I have been preparing so that my 10k for registration won't go to waste. grin

The programme seems like it would be worth it given the nature of preparedness of those involved coupled with the very high pass mark of 85% embarassed

. There'd be no refund of the registration fee if one doesn't get up to the required passmark. I'll be good though.

Secondly, I joined a free bootcamp TopSkill Universe, where one is required to go through some classes for three months and if one is amongst the best from the cohort, one is given an automatic scholarship into the firm's academy which would run online for eight months. If one is eventually finishes successfully, one can be absorbed into the firm as a junior developer.

Thirdly, I enrolled to the Software Engineering scholarship programme of ALX, and I already got accepted. Onboarding is next month, the only downside is that one is expected to put in about 70hours of work weekly

Who does that? I'll be good though since it'd be done online.

I also signed up for Enyatta's build up 2.0, this is a program that gives free macbooks to aspiring or non-established techies. One is required to go through a series of tests and interview. On scaling through, one would be entitled to a macbook. Scaled through the first stage already, the next phase is the skill based test, and I sincerely do not know what to expect, but I am hoping for the best.

No retreating D! An expert-level and innovative developer I must be!

Hey D!

I am back, I have finally gotten to and passed the point before the restart.
Finished and understood the module on arrays, also finished a module on objects although I am still trying to process the knowledge gained from the module. grin

I started a module on classes and Object oriented programming (OOP) recently, the whole concept seems like a leap from what I have learnt so far though, but I'll definitely be good in the long run.

No retreat, no surrender!

Naijatask:

LMAO!!! I thought I was the only one here in this journey oooo. This is the 3rd time I'm restarting my JavaScript journey while using Jonas schmedtmann course.

I finished the course the first time, but school resumed, and so, I forgot most if what I learned. I started the second time, and stopped midway through the course.

Right now, I'm on my 3rd journey, and made a promise to myself that this will be my final time . I've also been taking comments lately on how the codes I wrote works so that even when I forget, I can just go back to it.

Also, I have the JavaScript course by net ninja which I plan to complete when I'm done with my current course .

Anyway, keep on pushing!

Omo! Thanks baba... The journey indeed isn't for the frail at all... I'll start updating the diary again once I get to the point I was before I had a restart.. grin

We'll be fine las las

@wese90 just helped with escrow services for a phone I bought from @Ohizzy.

I strongly recommend Wese90 for your escrow service , interesting part is that his escrow service is free FOR NOW. Instead of taking the risk and falling into the hand of scammers, use escrow service

FanOfMyself:

Don't be deceived, if you wanna be good in front-end, you must be excellent with css. Yes there are lots of frameworks for css out there, but a serious company will always need you to write large chunks of custom css aside the framework.

I'm grateful boss.

I'm well grounded in CSS now, although one cannot know everything, but the course I used was very thorough.

JavaScript is the issue right now, there's been lots of starts and stops. embarassed

Hey D! I decided to start JavaScript all over again.. At this point I'll be needing study buddies, as JS can be really boring and confusing.

I would also start to document my progress on my LinkedIn profile from henceforth, I should have started this a long time ago but we mueve sha. grin

Giving up isn't part of the plan.

Hey guys, I'm in need of a laptop with the following minimum specs.

- at least 8gb ram.
- battery hours per use should be at least 6hours.
- 256gb ssd at least.
- processor should be good too, let's say around 2.4 - 2.5ghz.
- backlit keyboard.

Budget is 200k though.

Whew! Finally finished the module on DOM manipulation. I learnt the following:
1. How to select elements in the DOM.
2. DOM traversal.
3. Nodes.
4. How to select sibling elements, parent elements and parent nodes.
5. How to create elements using JavaScript.
6. How to remove and replace elements.

Omo! Programming requires consistency oo.. I'll be good though, it's only a matter of time.
