It's a beautiful morning D! Resumed work yesterday.. I'm just thinking about the stress, but I'll be good. cool

I learnt about some new stuff yesterday, and they include:
1. The return statement - used to make sure the value of a function can be used outside it.
2. Order - Making sure we declare variables and constants at the top of code, also noting that functions can be placed anywhere.
3. Global and local scope - A variable can be declared at the top of the of js page, and not defined, but can be called at any point in the page. Also noting that every code after a return statement in a function doesn't get executed.
4. How to add an event listener to our code.
5. JavaScript reads any line of html code as string automatically. But this can be converted to a number using the parseInt, parseFloat, and + sign before the string.
6. A number can be converted to a string using . toString() function.

Later D.

Wassup D! It's been a lil while.

JavaScript isn't easy I must confess, the course I downloaded isn't really for beginners oo, because my head don dey scatter like this,grin grin coupled with the fact that work hasn't been easy on me.

I've resolved to learn js using another route, I downloaded a book - JavaScript Novice to Ninja, it seems really easy to follow. I'll use the book alongside the course by Maximilian Schwarzmuller.

My motivation is being put to the test, but I'll be fine. cool cool

See ya!

Hey buddy, thanks for reaching out. JavaScript hasn't been easy at all, I had to stop using the course I downloaded and got a book - JavaScript Novice to Ninja, which kinda simplifies things. I jumped on the course again from the start and it's been a smooth ride so far. Updates would come in soon. smiley smiley

Sup D! This dude is back and this time, for real!

I did have an issue comprehending some of the basics of JS using the course by Maximilian. I had to stop using the course, then I downloaded a book - JavaScript Novice to Ninja, which has proved to be really helpful.

I've covered a huge part of the book and decided to start the course by Maximilian all over again, and so far it's been a really smooth ride.

There'll be more updates here D! I do hope I don't lose focus, consistency and motivation.

Cheers to better days!

Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 8:17am On Nov 08, 2021
Hey D! It's good to be back.
Prior to last night, I had learnt about: variables and constants, operators, data types, return statement, data type conversion, creating arrays and objects. All introductions though.

Last night, I learnt about:
1. If statements and boolean operators.
2. The if, else and else-if statements.
3. The logical AND and OR operators -- && and ||.
4. Operator precedence and the sequence that is followed when expressions, statements and functions are being executed.
5. Truthy and Falsy values - when js forces a boolean on a function or variable when it is compared on its own.

JS is pretty much coming together, and I'd like to say D! That I'm back for good, no more excuses.

I'd also like to appreciate some of the persons I've met through this platform (I'll mention y'all subsequently), y'all have been sources of motivation. I'm grateful guys.

I'll see ya later this evening D!

So I learnt some new stuff, they include:
1. More indepth knowledge of the if, else and else if statements.
2. The ternary operator which could be used to represent the if else statement.
3. The Switch - case statement, this can be used in stead of the the if-else statement where there are lots of else ifs grin, but when there's basically just a single condition.
4. Intro to loops - the for, for-of, for-in and while loops.

I sincerely cannot wait to get to the module where I'd start manipulating the contents of a webpage using JS - DOM. One step at a time I guess. grin

Later D!

Yay! D..

I can now say this dude is done with HTML! cheesy cheesy I learned how to create buttons; drop-down menus and how to embed videos today. With these and the others I've learned thus far, I have completed HTML! cool cool

I'll just practice everything I have learned tonight, and create a project tomorrow.

It's also important to note that I have downloaded the course on CSS suggested by the boss @tensazangetsu20: CSS - The complete guide by Maximilian Schwartz.

I'll be delving into CSS from Thursday. I'm all pumped up mehn! cool cool wink
How do you know when you're done with HTML? Because it seems u didn't spend too much time with it. I've been learning html for like one week plus now, and there's still a lot to learn.

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.

Hey D! I want to pop champagne!! grin grin

I finally deployed my first fairly responsive dummy website using HTML, SCSS and a lil bit of JavaScript, link is given below.

https://mirthosas.github.io/Traveasy-Project/

The journey hasn't been easy, and the pace at which I started has reduced, but I'm not going to give up, I'll keep keeping on.

I could have written the code a lot better, we'll keep improving daily.

Cheers to progress D!

Hey Diary smiley

I created you to keep track of my progress as I venture into learning software/web development and eventually become an established developer.

Today I downloaded a course: The Ultimate Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp by Kalob Taulien. Going through the contents, Kalob advised that one of the best editors is VS Code, so I downloaded it too.

So far, I have learned how to customize the VS Code editor; create an html file; add the html, head, title, body, bold, italic and underline opening and closing tags. I also learned how to link different pages both internal and external.

Tired already, see ya tomorrow my dearest diary. cool


P.S: Special thanks to the ogas at the top, the likes of @tensazangetsu20. Going through your thread on the languages newbies should learn was a huge source of motivation. I'm grateful boss.
did you get the material for free? If you have the link , kindly send!
