Hey D! I want to pop champagne!!

I finally deployed my first fairly responsive dummy website using HTML, SCSS and a lil bit of JavaScript, link is given below.

https://mirthosas.github.io/Traveasy-Project/

The journey hasn't been easy, and the pace at which I started has reduced, but I'm not going to give up, I'll keep keeping on.

I could have written the code a lot better, we'll keep improving daily.

Cheers to progress D!

Sir @airsaylongcome, greetings boss
@LikeAKing be calming down na , no be like this Dem dey ask for giveaway oo, and no be must say Dem go do giveaway, nobody dey owe anybody anything for this life

rainlover:
can you share some of the courses?

I currently use JavaScript - the complete guide by Maximilian Schwarzmuller

Whew! Finally finished the module on DOM manipulation. I learnt the following:
1. How to select elements in the DOM.
2. DOM traversal.
3. Nodes.
4. How to select sibling elements, parent elements and parent nodes.
5. How to create elements using JavaScript.
6. How to remove and replace elements.

Omo! Programming requires consistency oo.. I'll be good though, it's only a matter of time.

The5DME:
To all those who've learnt CSS, can you recommend a very good course that teach CSS very well for an absolute beginner?

obonujoker:
Lol... Wey dem no pay well...

Little wonder my friend run commot ..

Omo! Work was stressful today. I actually am handling my first major project at work and it's draining. I'll be fine though.

So, I learnt some new things: Creating default parameters for functions, and Rest parameters/operators.

Tomorrow it'll be D!

Hey D! I'm still hanging on.
I learnt some new stuff recently, they include:
1. The differences between ES5 and ES6+.
2. Differences between VAR, LET and CONST keywords.
3. Methods
4. Function expressions and function declarations/statements.
5. Anonymous functions.
6. Arrow functions.

It really hasn't been easy, but I'll keep keeping on.

More updates coming in soonest D! Later!

Oyequdus:
I ddnt write any test. I only applied

Heard from them yet?

Na quarterly BEDC dey recruit?

This protest no just get weight at all

No protest over here o

The5DME:
How many weeks did you spend learning HTML?

I think it was one week.

The5DME:
How do you know when you're done with HTML? Because it seems u didn't spend too much time with it. I've been learning html for like one week plus now, and there's still a lot to learn.

Hey buddy, I actually stated that in the context of the course I used for html. I discover new stuff on html daily, I never knew about the progress tag until some days back. We keep learning

So I learnt some new stuff, they include:
1. More indepth knowledge of the if, else and else if statements.
2. The ternary operator which could be used to represent the if else statement.
3. The Switch - case statement, this can be used in stead of the the if-else statement where there are lots of else ifs , but when there's basically just a single condition.
4. Intro to loops - the for, for-of, for-in and while loops.

I sincerely cannot wait to get to the module where I'd start manipulating the contents of a webpage using JS - DOM. One step at a time I guess.

Later D!

Thanks OP for the good work, but what's the exchange rate that's applied?

Hey D! It's good to be back.
Prior to last night, I had learnt about: variables and constants, operators, data types, return statement, data type conversion, creating arrays and objects. All introductions though.

Last night, I learnt about:
1. If statements and boolean operators.
2. The if, else and else-if statements.
3. The logical AND and OR operators -- && and ||.
4. Operator precedence and the sequence that is followed when expressions, statements and functions are being executed.
5. Truthy and Falsy values - when js forces a boolean on a function or variable when it is compared on its own.

JS is pretty much coming together, and I'd like to say D! That I'm back for good, no more excuses.

I'd also like to appreciate some of the persons I've met through this platform (I'll mention y'all subsequently), y'all have been sources of motivation. I'm grateful guys.

I'll see ya later this evening D!

LikeAking:
Good luck.

Thanks Boss.

Sad sad Tuesday for me. Power surge fried two laptops, one server, all mobile phone chargers, fibre Optic modem, one Inverter.

Omo! So sorry Sir

Sup D! This dude is back and this time, for real!

I did have an issue comprehending some of the basics of JS using the course by Maximilian. I had to stop using the course, then I downloaded a book - JavaScript Novice to Ninja, which has proved to be really helpful.

I've covered a huge part of the book and decided to start the course by Maximilian all over again, and so far it's been a really smooth ride.

There'll be more updates here D! I do hope I don't lose focus, consistency and motivation.

Cheers to better days!

Nice one Sir, I sincerely pray we don't lose our consistency, dedication and motivation.

Better days ahead.

UNN - GTB, just dropped about an hour ago.

sosowater:
Hey bro, @MirthOsas Been a while. Hope you're good.

Your diary is waiting for you.

Hey buddy, thanks for reaching out. JavaScript hasn't been easy at all, I had to stop using the course I downloaded and got a book - JavaScript Novice to Ninja, which kinda simplifies things. I jumped on the course again from the start and it's been a smooth ride so far. Updates would come in soon.

Wassup D! It's been a lil while.

JavaScript isn't easy I must confess, the course I downloaded isn't really for beginners oo, because my head don dey scatter like this, coupled with the fact that work hasn't been easy on me.

I've resolved to learn js using another route, I downloaded a book - JavaScript Novice to Ninja, it seems really easy to follow. I'll use the book alongside the course by Maximilian Schwarzmuller.

My motivation is being put to the test, but I'll be fine.

See ya!

IhateRetards:
Guy Keep up the good work ,you be inspiration when I no get inspiration

Thanks boss

It's a beautiful morning D! Resumed work yesterday.. I'm just thinking about the stress, but I'll be good.

I learnt about some new stuff yesterday, and they include:
1. The return statement - used to make sure the value of a function can be used outside it.
2. Order - Making sure we declare variables and constants at the top of code, also noting that functions can be placed anywhere.
3. Global and local scope - A variable can be declared at the top of the of js page, and not defined, but can be called at any point in the page. Also noting that every code after a return statement in a function doesn't get executed.
4. How to add an event listener to our code.
5. JavaScript reads any line of html code as string automatically. But this can be converted to a number using the parseInt, parseFloat, and + sign before the string.
6. A number can be converted to a string using . toString() function.

Later D.

de3lar:
You're moving fast man.


Keep it up.

Thanks buddy

EricBraven:
Ya,will be expecting it

Hey Eric, I just started JavaScript, still interested?

tensazangetsu20:
One thing I would like to add especially for newbies. America isn't the only country with remote jobs. A lot of people just set their sights on the USA. See try everywhere.
Also places in Latin America like Mexico, Brazil, Chile and co. The list is endless. A lot of people just have their sights set on working remotely with American companies. Just expand your options.

Very true, I stumbled on a website where some tech firms in Europe would even provide services for one's relocation.. I just can't wait wait to finish JavaScript, then move on to REACT, build a solid portfolio and start applying to jobs.

Baba Chi @tensazangetsu, your boy hails thee oo

Omo Diary ehn, this JavaScript is making me remember that I did some sort of programming in school, thank goodness they didn't finish me with visual basic that year.

I started the main deal of the js course today, and the course is pretty nice for now. So far I've learned about:
1. How to import js to a webpage.
2. Intro to variables: declaration and definition; acceptable ways to write var names.
3. Data types: numbers, text/strings.
4. Template literals.
5. How to add line breaks to strings for easier readability.
6. Intro to functions: syntax and how to call functions.

Tomorrow D.

Smartlight:
Please Boss can I link up with you.

Definitely boss, number is on the first page of the thread.

Being a new entrant into this field, I must say that this thread is indeed very insightful and motivating. I'm pleading that the bosses help keep the thread alive with even more insights and tips for new entrants.

Just started learning JavaScript btw.

Hey D!

I started the js course today, although it's more of an introduction to what js is all about, and what I would gain from the course.

I learnt that:
1. JavaScript is a dynamically interpreted (compiled on the fly) and weakly typed (data types being automatically assumed) programming language used to make webpages more dynamic.

2. Js is a hosted language which can be run on different environments such as the browser, server, etc.

3. Js engines are built into browsers ( V8 for chrome and SpiderMonkey for Firefox) which are used to parse (read and understand) Js code, compilation into machine code and execution.

I'll be starting the main deal tomorrow.. See ya!
