JavaScript is the focal point in the last module of Internet Application Development. Javascript changes the behavior of websites and makes them more interactive. It can actively change websites and make them far more sophisticated than just design. In this module, students focused primarily on W3Schools and Codecademy. This module did not go into as much detail as the previous modules, however it is enough for me to get started progamming with Javascript.
I enjoyed learning Javascript with interactive tutorials from W3Schools and using W3Schools to get more practice programs that showcase what the langauge can do. Going through the Codecademy exercises made Javascript much easier to learn and get used to. For me, hands-on exercises are the best way for me to learn. For coding, the best way is to get in there and start practicing.
The only thing I did not enjoy about this module was how short it is compared to the rest of the semester. Javascript is a very powerful language that has a lot of potential for website. I would like to spend more time with Javascript if I had the chance, but I would have to explore more on my freetime.
Click here for my best project from Module 4. For Module 4, I chose to show my progress in the Codecademy exercises. To me, Codecademy was very useful in learning Javascript; each exercise built on top of each other, thus enriching my knowledge on how the programming language worked. It does a great job making me feel confident in coding in Javascript as I feel like I know each exercise intuitively. Despite the time length for this module, Codecademy is a great source to learn languages like this one.
