Module 4 Overview

Javascript

Our final module in this course was over Javascript. Javascript is another scripting language like PHP that can be combined with HTML. In our assignments, I learned the proper syntax of Javascript, how to print things to the console, how to create variables, and worked with conditional statements. I also learned how to create pop-up windows that asked for user input. I found the Codecademy tutorials for Javascript to be fun and learned the most from them, which I talk about below. Javascript was a useful language to learn, since it is used to create things for webpages that HTML and PHP cannot.

Codecademy

Unlike the previous modules, I found the Codecademy lessons to be enjoyable when learning Javascript. The different lessons helped me become familair with Javascript and its proper syntax. The lessons also incorporated small games that were fun to create and play. The language reminds me a lot of the object-oriented programming languages, like C++, that I enjoy working with. While I usually prefer more hands-on assignments that do more than just teach me things step-by-step, I will continue using Codecademy to learn Javascript and create programs on my own time.

Below is a picture of a rock, paper, scissors game I created in Codecademy that is played against the computer.
