Web Development Experience
So after learning the two mark up languages, HTML and CSS, we took a deep dive into the programming language, JavaScript. JavaScript is the language of the web and is the backbone to the way the World Wide Web works. Unlike the other two languages, JavaScript adds functionality to your page by being able to … Continue reading The Last Piece Of The Puzzle: JavaScript
Everyone uses the web to navigate through web pages every day of their lives. Not many take a second to think how these websites are built or what goes into making a website. The web today basically runs from three components. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

A repository is a container that holds a collection of files. In the professional world, developers use control systems like Git … Continue reading What is Git/Github?
Just starting out... So here we are, the final stretch for now! For my final project I will be attempting to create a single player pong experience using P5. Our professor gave me a good idea about how to go ahead with starting this project. First get it to work with maybe some hard coded … Continue reading Final Project
Intro to JavaScript - Variables, Control Flow, and Looping This is my first experience ever going to a tech meet-up. I've always seen environments similar to this one when you see those videos about how awesome working in Tech can be. When doing the research to find a meet up I came across the words … Continue reading My First Ever Meet-Up.
Our professor gave us a challenge. Go through code that she wrote and modify it and make it better. She wanted us to go through the code and make it modular and reusable. We did this by using everything we've learned so far and the most important one would be constructor functions. Here's an example … Continue reading Coding In The Dark Challenge…Featuring Constructors/Cookie Cutters
So how boring would it be if you were playing Pac-Man and when you lose, that was it, you couldn't get a second chance? Well the concept of looping is one of the most powerful concepts at a programmer's finger tips. There are two main different types of loops (There are others), For Loops and … Continue reading Loops
So we have seen this before, functions but what are they? A function is a piece of code that can be reusable and executes when called on. The structure/syntax is normally: function nameOfFunction(parameters) { //code } So we can actually pass variables through and we can return something back as well. We do so by … Continue reading Defining Custom Functions
Here's one of the basic principles of programming, conditional statements. Heres a break down of the structure for what an if statement looks like. When coding we have to come up with a logic flow that will get the program to do what we want it to. The values true and false are boolean data … Continue reading If/Else Statements
We have learned a lot within the past few days and we were asked to build projects about defining our own functions, defining an object, and then using an array to display shapes. Most of the topics I'll cover in this post can be found in detail here. (the M in the function is for … Continue reading Homework…Objects and Arrays
