I'm Ur JavaScript Study-Buddy!

I’m lovin’ the VIBE and ENERGY you put out here man! @lordkalvin
Makes everyone pumped up to learn more! Kudos to you and your growth in the Academy!

I’m also surprised that JS is directly related to building smart contracts! I’m building a DEX right now, learning how to tweak minor details and add use cases. I built wallets, tokens, and other stuff with guidance from the academy, of course, you’ll learn this stuff along the way as well!

Happy learning everyone!

Happy Monday yal //

I was unable to complete my progress goal last week. :weary: :persevere: :pensive: :sob:
I ran into some family shit last Tues, which I unfortunately allowed to throw me off my game allaway thru the weekend.

No excuses tho. I shoulda had the discipline to get back on track sooner. Iss embarassing to come up short, but I gotta take personal responsibility n work harder this week to catch up.

Last week I intended to go from lesson 16 - 23, but I only made it to lesson 19.

This week 's goal will be to progress from lesson 19 - 26.

I won’t let myself fall off this time, even if I gotta deal w/another black-swan event.

Anyway, I preciate yal’s support! I wanna hear what yal r gonna accomplish this week too!
Issa nu week, LEZ GETTIT!

hey @lordkalvin , I have been in lesson 26 for 3 weeks :joy: so don’t feel bad.
Things kept on coming up and I’d have to start over, because when I came back to it after a few days, it seemed completely new to me. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I am not going to get hung up on that though because I notice I get a better grasp of past lessons as I advance.

so the little breaks you are forced to take are not so bad. The important thing is that you get back on it. I’m advancing to lesson 27 after I type this.
Let’s see how far I can get today. :blush:

Hello JS tribe ! :grin:
I found a pretty cool site for free coding lessons, and I have been playing around there to review the lessons I have learned so far.
It’s pretty cool and helps a great deal.
I am all for tackling this from different angles. :blush:

www.freecodecamp.org

Hope this helps !!

Hey! New to this forum - good to meet all of you guys.

Anyway, thank you for the link to the video - I’m definitely looking for ways to supplement this course because I just don’t feel like I’m “getting it” but I’m a smart cookie so I know I just need to find the right way for me to learn the information. Videos are fantastic for me to use to supplement the dry reading with. I H.A.T.E. the reading but I’m sticking with it and knocking it out - it’s just too slow and I feel like I waste my time when “all” I do is the academy coursework because I don’t think I have actually “learned” anything. When I watch additional videos or go over to https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp, I realize I have learned stuff and these extras are helping solidify it in my mind. One of the things I definitely DON’T want to do is go through the course THINKING I’m learning something, only to realize I didn’t and have to start over.

Hey ! I’m glad you like the video !
It really helps tackling all these concepts from different angles.

try www.freecodecamp.org too.

You learn by actually doing exercises, and you get into the nitty gritty of coding.

It is an awesome free resource for other coding lessons too.

Oh cool! Thanks for sharing that! I just checked it out quickly and it looks pretty interesting! I’m assuming you signed up - do they spam you to death or leave your email alone? :slight_smile:

oh no. they are legit. No spamming at all. :blush:
