Fundamentals of JavaScript

This week and a little of last week, I began learning JS. Starting with variables, how they are little boxes or buckets that store items to memory. The 100 ways (it seems that is) to write a function. Some things need () and some do not. Still working on loops though.

The biggest takeaway so far for me is JS is a human language. So we have to be really specific when we want to use it to tell a computer what to do. I didn't understand the syntax or logic right off the bat. That is frustrating but I'm not supposed too. It's new, I'm new to this. But everyday I delete and rewrite my little exercises until it makes sense. Those little A-HA moments are so precious right now. I wake up excited to get back to my computer to code. That feeling might not last forever but I sure hope it sticks around for a long, long time.

What day am I on since I started this learning to code journey?

Well my Habit Tracker tells me I've been at this for 100 days! I'll take that. Can't stop, won't stop now! If only I could workout that consistently we'd be getting somewhere. I'll add working out to my Habit Tracker.

If you're just getting into this like me, don't stop. Watch a few YouTube videos if you need an extra push. Check out Code Newbie's podcast. They've got some really good ones in there about people just like us who made it.
