Thinking by Walter D Wintle

Javascript Should NOT Make Sense YET

You Should Still Struggle With CSS

You Should Still Stumble Choosing HTML Tags

THIS IS ALL NORMAL

YOU CAN AND WILL DO THIS

But What About Freelancing?

I'm NOT GOING TO

TEXT YOU, CALL YOU, EMAIL YOU OUTSIDE OF THE NEWSLETTER, DM YOU ON TWITTER OR DISCORD, Or EVER ASK YOU FOR MONEY!

The Golden Rule

SEPERATION OF CONCERNS

  • HTML = Content / Structure

  • CSS = Style

  • JS = Behavior / Interaction

IDs & Classes

IDs

#zebra {
  color: red;
}

IDs are used for selecting distinct elements

Only one id with the same value per document

#idName

<section>
  <p>Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p id="zebra">Hello, Youtube!</p>
</section>

Classes

.bob {
  color: red;
}

Classes are for selecting multiple elements

Multiple with same value allowed per document

.className

<section>
  <p class="robot">Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p id="zebra" class="bob">Hello, Youtube!</p>
  <p class="bob">Goodbye, Mixer!</p>
</section>

Programming

A computer will do what you tell it to do.

What is a program?

A program is a set of instructions that you write to tell a computer what to do

What is a programming?

Programming is the task of writing those instructions in a language that the computer can understand.

True Story

JAVASCRIPT

Has a specific 'Syntax'

Syntax: "Spelling and grammar" rules of a programming language.

Variables

What are variables?

Variables

  • We can tell our program to remember values for us to use later on

    • ​

  • The entity we use to store the value is called a variable

Variables

Declaration: let age

 

Assignment: age = 25

 

Both at the same time:

let age = 25

Variable Conventions

camelCase:

let numberOfApples = 9

 

 

Variables

& Data Types

What can you store in variables?

Strings

  • Stores text

  • String is surrounded by quotes

"How is the weather today?"

'Warm'

Strings

Double vs Single Quoted Strings:

'They "purchased" it'
"It's a beautiful day"

Numbers

Represent Numerical Data

int: 29

float: 5.14876

Numbers

Signed

int: +4

float: -10.375

Arithmetic In Javascript

Let's Code

Variable Fun Time

Making Decisions

 

It's either TRUE or FALSE 

If you are greater than 18 you are an adult

if (age > 18){
  console.log("You are an adult")
}

Comparisons:

Equality

 

Are two things equal?

9 === 9 //true
7 === 3 //false
"Hello" === "Hello" //true

Logical Operators

Conditional Syntax

if(condition is true) {
  //Do cool stuff
}

Conditional Syntax

if(condition is true) {
  //Do this cool stuff
}else if(condition is true){
  //Do this other cool stuff
}else{
  //Default cool stuff
}

Conditional Syntax

const pizza = "Dominos"

if (pizza === "Papa Johns") {
  console.log("Scram!")
} else if(pizza === "Dominos") {
  console.log("All aboard the train to flavor town")
} else {
  console.log("What are you even doing with your life?")
}

🚨 DANGER 🚨

Assignment vs. Comparison

Multiple Conditions

if (name === "Leon" && status === "Ballin"){
 //Wink at camera
}

Multiple Conditions

if (day === "Saturday" || day === "Sunday"){
  //It is the weekend
}

Answer:

The Bachelor

Functions

What are functions?

Functions

  • Functions are simple sets of instructions!

  • Functions are reusable

  • Functions perform one action as a best practice

  • They form the basic "building blocks" of a program

Functions

function name(parameters){
  //body
}

//call
name(arguments)

Functions

function yell(word){
  alert(word)
}


yell("HELLO")

Functions

function yell(word, otherWord){
  alert(word)
  alert(otherWord)
}


yell("HELLO","GOODBYE")

Let's Code

Simple Functions

Loops

What are loops?

Loops

  • Repeat an action some number of times!

  • Three main types of loops in Javascript

  • For, while, and do while loops

  • Each type offers a different way to determine the start and end points of a loop

Loops - For

for ([initialExpression]; [conditionExpression]; [incrementExpression]){
  
  //do stuff 
  
}

Loops - For

for (let i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(i)
}

Let's Code

21 Savage Loop

Loops - While

let count = 0 

while(count < 5){
  console.log(count)
  count++
}
