#100DaysOfCode
Today was more hands on kind of day. Now that I understand the abstractions and concepts behind DOM, AJAX, & API it’s time to put in the work and apply the code to make it work. Now it just comes down to repetition of applying these methods in different projects to get accustomed to using…
Today took a deeper look into Rest API the last layer to connecting everything together with JavaScript. REST and API are two separate things individually. API stands for application program interface. It is essentially a contract provided from one piece of software to another piece of software. The analogy given in the video I watched…
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML(AJAX) is a technique created using different technologies like JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and XML but is not a programming language itself. AJAXs purpose is to allow web pages to update live behind the scenes without refreshing the page. This is a very powerful ability that all of our favorite social media sites…
Truly a fitting description of the year. March madness. Today I looked more into what JSON was. Also I completed Animations II in the grasshopper app. Using the grasshopper app while learning more about JavaScript is great since its refreshing me on things I’ve learned about. The animations section of the course is using concepts…
Today was another day of learning about the DOM . I forgot to mention yesterday but as expected HTML DOM elements are objects. This is to be expected because practically everything in JavaScript is an object like classes and even functions. The topics today were about nodes, events, and event listeners. Everything in the HTML…
Today I learned about document object model(DOM), which is something I’ve been using on practically all of the JavaScript projects I’ve worked on so far. However, I didn’t understand what was really going on. The video I watched to gain information about DOM was Traversy Media. The DOM is a tree of nodes/elements created by…
Back to the blog streak. I’ve just recently finished the udemy course by Anthony Alicea The Weird Parts of JavaScript. This is something I’ve been listening to for weeks everyday at work. However, I would only re-listen to the same parts that I have actually watched. So the last parts of the course I haven’t…
For the past couple of days I have been busy moving, so there hasn’t been any blog updates. Instead of staying up till 3am coding I’ve been reorganizing trying to get situated at the new apartment. First time had the weekend off in a long time. However, I finally completed The Weird Parts Of JavaScript…
As we learned from last blog function constructors was a method to create objects mimicking other languages. Other languages cannot take advantage of prototypical inheritance. This method fully utilizes the JavaScript engine instead of trying to mimic other languages. Pure prototypical inheritance is a powerful way to take advantage of JavaScript dynamic typing. Another way…
Along with functional programming, I revisited object-oriented programming in JavaScript. Some conceptual asides that are prerequisites to understanding object orientation is an understanding inheritance, prototypes, and objects on a deeper level. Inheritance is one object that gets access to the properties and methods of another object. All objects in JavaScript have properties and always have…
