I haven’t felt like I’ve been the strongest when it comes to JavaScript, so I was really excited to dive into more code today. We reviewed a few concepts I was familiar with, like working with the DOM (or Document Object Model), events, and callback functions.
Although the lecture didn’t consist of too much new information for me, the hands-on assignments were what really helped. Having to struggle to figure out how to create different functionalities proved to be really useful. One task I tackled included creating a JavaScript stop watch. Sometimes the struggle of getting something to work can be a real headache, but at the same time, once it’s actually functioning properly, it can give you a real sense of relief and accomplishment.
