Today was dedicated towards another rabbit hole of the big o notation. I knew learning about code, that I had to look into computer science so I watched a crash course series about it from a YouTube. What better channel than one called Crash Course. I do remember big O being mentioned but not explained…

Day 40 JavaScript Basic Algorithm Scripting
It is day 40 and another section of freecodecamp JavaScript down! 60% completed with JavaScript down but of course still far from mastering the language. Will be reviewing topics again and again. I am still very much lost in all of this but going with the execution method instead of just reading. Completing the JavaScript…
Day 39 JavaScript Data Structures Completed
Today I finished the basic JavaScript data structure portion in freecodecamp. For my vlog today I read a blog post explaining data structures out loud. Again the reason for this blog and vlog besides documentation is to remember what I am learning. Yesterday’s blog went over stacks, queues, linked lists, graphs, & hash tables. Today…
Day 38 JavaScript Data Structures
Day 38 was about JavaScript data structures. Which we kind of just went into freecodecamp courses without a bigger picture being explained. It just went right into writing arrays. First question did explain that arrays held collection data, but I like knowing the bigger picture of its importance. So in my quest of truth of…
Day 37 Debugging v3 Completed
Debugging yet again. This is the third time getting into debugging. However, this time I actually got to code the debugging process. The accomplishment of surviving today was the completion of the debugging portion in freecodecamp. The first two times learned about debugging I only read about it and made notes. So this time around…
Day 36 JavaScript Regular Expressions.
Yesterday I finished up with the ES6 and most of regular expression portion in freecodecamp. I was surprised at how long the course regarding to just one function. Just goes to show how complex regular expressions are. There were a lot of different scenarios of using it. Regular expressions allow you to check strings of…
Day 35 JavaScript ES6
Alright, so today decided to get back in the freecodecamp courses. I ended up finishing the ES6 portion of JavaScript. ES6 is the latest version of JavaScript. They come with new features, const and let are both more powerful functions than var. Const once used, the variable can’t be reassigned. In other words, it’s an immutable variable except…
Day 34 JavaScript Symbols, “This”, & Primitive Conversion
Today we learned more about objects which went into symbols, this, and primitive conversion. Objects are really complex with all of the things they can do. Objects by default can only either a string or a symbol type. Symbol has some advantages over string, it represents a unique identifier. It is created using symbol(). You…
Day 33 JavaScript Objects
Objects and garbage collection was today’s topic. Also some more experimenting happened today. The new experiment was making flash cards to memorize definitions and syntaxes. I really want to hammer in fundamentals of JavaScript, because it plays a huge role into front end development. Once I know JavaScript and it’s libraries I will be confident…
Day 32 JavaScript Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
Code quality and testing were the topics today. Code quality was related to code style, comments, and testing with mocha. Code style was a more of a common sense topic along with comments. Code style is sticking with me since I am seeing examples of how to write clean code throughout javascript.info, freecodecamp, and w3schools….
