Learning JS E01

A journey of experimenting, discovering, and messing around to learn JavaScript.

Hello Javascript!

This is a series of blog post covering my journey in self-learning Javascript.

I have to say that I’ve never liked Java or Javascript and I prefer interpreted and/or imperative programming languages, such as Python and Ruby (I built this website using Jekyll and Ruby), but I decided to give a go tryign to learn Javascript and document my journey here.

Javascript meets HTML

Javascript is a programming language primarily used for client-side scripting on Web, although lately it’s becoming also an alternative for developing server-side applications using node.js. Javascript is so important because aproximately 97% of all websites use Javascript for web page behaviour.

What I want to learn

  • Data Visualisations (i.e. D3.js)
  • node.js
  • Videogames or similar in Javascript
  • Mobile-first websites and/or applications (React, etc)
  • Art focused frameworks such as P5

What is my plan?

I will develop a training plan, from the basics of JavaScript to probably running server-side applications (node.js), but I will focus more on data visualisations and videogames.

In conclusion

Let’s JavaScript
