Learning to code as a mid-life career change via The Odin Project. My hobbies are indoor climbing, cooking & hiking.

Day 66 - 69

So far from reading chap 5, I'm not sure if it'll help me with my TOP project so I'm gonna take a break for now from the book.

Day 66 - 69
A summary of what I learned from Eloquent Javascript:
- review over chap 1 (values, types & operators)
- chap 2: expressions, statements, bindings,
functions & return values, conditional execution,
while & do loops, for loops & switch statement

Day 66 - 69
- I had trouble solving for the a list ex (create a
function to create a nested object)

So I started reading chap 5, higher-order functions. I decided at this point to go back to #theodinproject to see if I can start working on Tic Tac Toe project.

@fivi187 So fun huh! I fell in love with it since the first time I went climbing haha.

[Alyssa @AlyssaNguyen07]

@TomDocs It's not too bad, I felt like I'm familiar with half and the other half is foreign to me. The fcc ES6 course is a lot shorter than their basic JavaScript course.

Day 62 - 65
For the past week or so, I've did a review of #freecodecamp Basic Javascript & completed the ES6 courses. I also worked on 7 katas from Codewars. My plan for the next weeks or so is to read Eloquent Javascript.

@TomDocs I'll probably do a lil update of my readings every couple days or so 😂 tho I'm bad at it. I'm glad that you're enjoying codeacademy! I might take a peak at it if I feel like I need more practice later haha.

[Alyssa @AlyssaNguyen07]

@TomDocs Yeah my last proj was the library. I like eloquent JS so far even though I've only read the 1st & 2nd chapters so far, they had some exercises at the end of chap 2 that was fun. I don't have any other books to compare it to cos it's my first JS book 😂.

[Alyssa @AlyssaNguyen07]

@LjCodes So cool, good luck on your Ruby journey Linzi!

(continued)
I think I've left off somewhere in chapter 2 in the previous time, but I'll probably do a quick review of chapter 1 first.

@swright_dev That sounds like a good idea!

[Alyssa @AlyssaNguyen07]

@TomDocs Thanks Tom! Yeah I promise myself to focus when I come back haha.

Day 59 - 61
I haven't been able to study consistently these past weeks, I've only managed to go over the #freecodecamp ES6 exercises. I'll be going on a camping trip starting tomorrow, so no studying for the next 5 days.

@swright_dev Thanks Scott for these vids, I will check them out! I'm looking forward to learning more from the project once I get back to it 😀. I feel a bit better knowing that I'm not the only one struggling on this 😅.

Day 56 - 58
I've been studying about factory functions & the module pattern w/ #theodinproject & reading the linked documentations. Even though I kinda understood the module pattern, I'm feeling like I don't understand the differences w/ other JS functions/constructor etc.

[Alyssa @AlyssaNguyen07]

@TomDocs Thanks Tom, I appreciate it! I rmb you taking a break during the project, I'm glad you made it through. Pls lmk if you have any tips for me 😁.
