Week One: Basics of Javascript
Overview:
So it begins! The course started with some Javascript fundamentals. I got to grips with VS code, learing how to navigate the program, interact with the terminal and created my first .js file. I enjoyed dabbling in the terminal, it took me right back to my childhood days of experimenting in DOS. By the end of the first week I could already see the limitless potential of coding, which started the creative cogs whirring. I made a few little programs of my own to practice, and applied what I'd learned so far. I especially enjoyed creating a simple RPG character rolling program, incorperating what I'd learned about random number generation and iterative loops.
Topics Covered:
Dot Notation: I learned what dot notation is, and how to use it
Variable operators: I had a basic understanding of variable operators from playing with C++ previously, but it was great to have this clarified and crystalised into my brain.
ifElse: Again I vaguely understood the fundamentals already, but now I really get it.

Here's my hand written notes from this week, written with a real pen on actual physical lined paper:
