Karleb: Pastor blueyedgeek, please can you gimme the link to tthe website you use to host your codes.


I already have bitbucket.

blueyedgeek: Pastor bawo? I use bitbucket too. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole git stuff so I'm not big on that.

Karleb:

But I could swear you've been hosting your codes before you met bitbucket, as in the competition.


BTW, I meant Alhaji.

blueyedgeek: Do you mean google drive?

Karleb:

You gorrit

I wanna learn the a_z, sir.

blueyedgeek: Well, there is nothing much to learn. Google drive is like Dropbox, a cloud based service that allows you to store documents, photos, videos etc online. It offers you 15gb of storage.

Umm, what else, you can use it to host your simple web apps and or web site, all you have to do is to upload the codes/files/images etc that make up the site into a folder and make sure the arrangement is the same as it is on your local computer (you could just upload the entire folder at once with all the files inside).

Click on your html document, it will open up a preview of the code that makes up the html document, at the top, you should see a link called "Open", click on it and it will open up a new page still containing just the code but this time at the top, you should see a link called "preview" and when you click on it, it will open up the web page as it should be displayed in a browser.

One thing to note: make sure you share the folder as "public on the web" so that it can be accessed by all.

When it opens up the web page, it will generate a funny looking url for your site, just copy it and share. (you can shorten the link using a url shortener though)

Daz all.

Karleb:

Questions:

1. Do you mean I can only do that with a computer, cos I don't have one but I have an android phone.


2. Do you mean Dropbox can also perform this function.


3. I'm sorry for derailing your thread.

DharkPoet: Having a problem, grabbing the prototype feature of javascript.

While reading, I got stuck at this snippet of code

function CustomerBooking(bookingId, customerName, film, showDate)
{
this.customerName = customerName;
this.bookingId = bookingId;
this.showDate = showDate;
this.film = film;
}

}
CustomerBooking.prototype.getBookingId = function()
{
return this.bookingId;
}

// Cinema type
function Cinema()
{
this.bookings = new Array();
}
Cinema.prototype.addBooking = function(bookingId, customerName, film, showDate)
{
this.bookings[bookingId] = new CustomerBooking(bookingId,
customerName, film, showDate);
}
Cinema.prototype.getBookingsTable = function()
{
var booking;
var bookingsTableHTML = “<table border=1>”;
for (booking in this.bookings)
{
bookingsTableHTML += “<tr><td>”;
bookingsTableHTML += this.bookings[booking].getBookingId();
bookingsTableHTML += “</td>”;
bookingsTableHTML += “<td>”;

bookingsTableHTML += this.bookings[booking].getCustomerName();
bookingsTableHTML += “</td>”;
bookingsTableHTML += “<td>”;
bookingsTableHTML += this.bookings[booking].getFilm();
bookingsTableHTML += “</td>”;
bookingsTableHTML += “<td>”;
bookingsTableHTML += this.bookings[booking].getShowDate();
bookingsTableHTML += “</td>”;
bookingsTableHTML += “</tr>”;
}
var londonOdeon = new Cinema();
londonOdeon.addBooking(342, “Arnold Palmer”,”Toy Story”, “15 July 2009 20:15”);
londonOdeon.addBooking(335, “Louise Anderson”,
“The Shawshank Redemption”, “27 July 2009 11:25”);
londonOdeon.addBooking(566, “Catherine Hughes”,
“Never Say Never”, “27 July 2009 17:55”);
londonOdeon.addBooking(324, “Beci Smith”,”Shrek”, “29 July 2009 20:15”);
document.write(londonOdeon.getBookingsTable());

Could someone help shed more light on the Cinema constructor and why the new array instance? What does this statement really do this.bookings[booking].getBookingId();

Thanks

Another challenge/study group going nowhere. Lets make JS apps that will make us money instead of making inept n rigged challenges and study groups on this forum. That will definitely help out the poor that is really in need than those who have money and want to hide info and money to themselves.

1. An app that will teach people JS.
2. An app that display your code in real-time devices
3. An app that will convert HTML/JS into other languages like Java & C++.

blueyedgeek: [size=32pt]Simple Javascript Challenges for Beginners[/size]

Hey guys, here are some simple javascript challenges to try out.

[size=24pt]1. Looping a triangle[/size]

Using a for loop, write a program that makes seven calls to console.log to output the following triangle:

#
##
###
####
#####
######
#######

[size=24pt]2. FizzBuzz[/size]
Using a for loop, write a program that uses console.log to print all the numbers from 1 to 100, with two exceptions. For numbers divisible by 3, print "Fizz" instead of the number, and for numbers divisible by 5 (and not 3), print "Buzz" instead.

When you have that working, modify your program to print "FizzBuzz" for numbers that are divisible by both 3 and 5.

Post your solutions here

Ps: Don't peek at the answers if you haven't at least tried to tackle the challenge

zicjoe: console.log?? Explain pls.

blueyedgeek: It is a common object/method provided by debuggers that allows you to log information to the Javascript console that comes with most browsers. The shortcut for the Javascript console on most browsers is f12. It's a great way to try out what your code does and not as annoying as the alert function.

Clear?

Karleb: Blueyedgeek.

Pls can you pls gimme a link to download an android app that display JavaScript, I've searched on play store but I haven't gotten a suitable one, I wouldn't mind if it's the paid ones.

BTW, why do we have many java, c+ and c# app compared to Js app and even HTML&CSS apps, majority of this web app app's are thrash compared to their mobile app app's counterpart.


A case study is Sand ide.

Raypawer: i dey here! jumping into JavaScript... its fun knowing More Programming language to solve more problems!

AkunneObinna: Need suggestions on which code validator to use offline... any ideas please?

Personally, I think we need the money b4 we pay a whole alot of time to start understanding code. We can copy and paste for a while and then we go back to see what it is about. When Google started, they didnt really know how to program well, but they got better as time went by. Facebook got better as well. I think we should get the money 1st and then focus on understanding code.

davidsmith8900:
They were Comp Sci PHD students who were not experienced in HTML, thats the main reason why their original homepage has a simple design. But to get back on topic, how much is the challenge? What market should we be targeting for apps instead of just wasting time forming study groups and having competitions that won't bring us money?

blueyedgeek:
How can you use jQuery without linking to it first? Your code no work and as such this thread remains open.
