 JavaScript Basics


After much thought, I have started to learn more about JavaScript.  This is for three reasons. The first is that JSON data is used a lot with cloud technologies.  JSON is related to JavaScript and I wanted to learn more about how JSON data is generated to work with it better. The second reason is that I can work with web pages.  I find this more interesting than working all the time with C and Java. Last, JavaScript is one of the most popular and loved computer programming languages so I decided to give it a try.


I am currently taking two courses: Coursera and Team Treehouse.  I find that the Team Treehouse teachers are better than the Coursera teachers.  I also recently purchased a book called Eloquent JavaScript.

Here are some pictures from my first Coursera JavaScript project. The goal of the project was to build a simple image slide show.





The first pictures show two of the pictures using just HTML and JavaScript.






The second picture shows one of the pictures with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS styling.  The CSS styling makes the transition between pictures more visually appealing.







The last picture is the simple JavaScript code. I am using Visual Studio Code as my IDE.





Overall, I find the idea that I can use JavaScript with HTML and CSS very appealing.  I plan to continue learning about JavaScript.

Space wars - Python 3 This is my first version of Space Wars  in Python 3 using C. Thomson's ideas and Turtle. I made this a few weeks ago but am only getting around to post it today.  It doesn't have any sound. CT developed his program on the Mac.  However, the sound code doesn't work with windows.  The program was developed using Turtle. I am using Python's turtle module to develop games now. I play to start with Pygame before the end of the year.
