Class 9, FINAL PREPARATION: Learning the basics of JavaScript.

Sooo, my computer was going through the MOST but it did spend a LOT of time on this website. I just love how they have that cute guy in the corner. 

Class 7, FINAL PREPARATION: Choosing a JavaScript programming track.

So for homework I had to compare three different methods for learning Javascript which, I think, was AMAZING!

So the three sites were:

1. Khan Academy Computer Science program at  https://www.khanacademy.org/csLearn
2. Street at http://www.learnstreet.com/  (learn JavaScript only)
3. Code Academy at http://www.codecademy.com/  (learn JavaScript only)

So I really loved Khan Academy, mostly because there was commentary and they broke it down to an elementary level. I was able to create shapes, colors, etc. However learnstreet I think was pretty good because they held my hand a little less. They gave you javascript and expected you to remember it way down the line. I appreciated that. Yes it was more difficult but I think it flowed well so I felt like I was learning something a little more complicated even though it wasn't ALL that more complicated than Khan Academy. What learnstreet didn't do, however, is show me a separate screen that was being manipulated by the Javascript. This is something that codeacademy and Khan Academy did off the bat, and that's what I think of really when I think of javascript.

All in all though I think codeacademy was my least favorite. I would actually go back to the first two on my own time.
