Codecademy JavaScript Functions and CSS ( a review)

Review Functions

Give yourself a pat on the back, you just navigated through functions!

In this lesson, we covered some important concepts about functions:

• A function is a reusable block of code that groups together a sequence of statements to perform a specific task.
• A function declaration :
  

After a Full Day of Coding

Nine hours later, I am happy to have produced a couple of products. One is a very basic mock form for ordering food delivery online. The other is a shopping list that allows one to add and remove items.

More importantly than what I have produced today is what I have learned. 

I think I'll brew some more coffee and settle in for another few hours.

I made a drumkit

I followed through day 1 of JavaScript30 and produced a viable (desktop version) drumkit! It is currently hosted on GitHub.

Reset <-- FreeCodeCamp

After thinking about it, I've decided to continue my work with FreeCodeCamp for now.  I spent a good deal of time learning R, but for whatever reason, Python just appeals to me more than R does. Admittedly, R does have a steep learning curve, whereas Python is more straightforward. Either way, I don't have much of a portfolio, and FreeCodeCamp covers a good deal of design elements as well as coding, all while leading to a tangible portfolio.

JavaScript Variables

Going to spend some time this weekend studying JavaScript. The image below was extracted from a screenshot of a course I'm taking via SoloLearn.

According to the website:

Naming Variables

There are some other rules to follow when naming your JavaScript variables:

- You must not use any special symbols, like my#num, num%, etc.
- Be sure that you do not use any of the following JavaScript reserved words.

React and Team Tree House

I just invested several hours of time and ample mistake correction and produced an interactive scoreboard program using React.  Team Tree House is a stunning online education platform that offers a rich and diverse array of course offerings that span a wide range of topics related to computer programming. I seriously wish there was more time for learning!

The *.jsx code =

var PLAYERS = [
  {
    name: "Player 1",
    score: 0,
    id: 1,
  },
 
  {
    name: "Player 2",
    score: 0,
    id: 2,
  },
 

JavaScript and jQuery

Progress! My ever-growing to-do list now has one more thing checked off, a brief introductory course in JavaScript and jQuery. It was designed well and tasked the user with coding along. I can't wait to see how much progress I am able to make this summer. Ever forward!

JavaScript - Reserved Keywrods

Saturday morning. Temperatures outside are near freezing and there's a chance of snow. I'm enjoying cinnamon coffee and an introductory course in JavaScript and jQuery.

Reserved words in JavaScript Question: What reserved words are there in JavaScript? Answer: Reserved words of the JavaScript language are listed below. (Some of these words are actually used in the Java language, and are reserved in JavaScript for compatibility purposes or as possible extensions.) When choosing names for your JavaScript variables, avoid these reserved words! abstract   else   instanceof   super   boolean   enum   int   switch   break   export   interface   synchronized   byte   extends   let   this   case   false   long   throw   catch   final   native   throws   char   finally   new   transient   class   float   null   true   const   for   package   try   continue   function   private   typeof   debugger   goto   protected   var   default   if   public   void   delete   implements   return   volatile   do   import   short   while   double   in   static   with
