  1. Why do we need libraries?
    = To not waste time when we program, why try to invent the wheel when someone has already done that.

We need libraries to save time. There is no real advantage to write code someone has already written.

Ans:

I’m sure there’s multiple computer code libraries made public today. These computer code libraries have already been built, written, categorized, structured and tested by a programmer(s) who decide(s) to make it publicly available, to the world, as an ‘open-source’ file(s).

The reason we need libraries is that it makes available usable code for building functionality into our website(s). This code can be referenced for use, in our JavaScript code, to reduce the time involved with writing code that already exists, that is ‘open-source’ and accessible.

It saves time and enables programmers to build quicker by using these libraries. Programmers can, call and reference the computer code using API’s found within these libraries. Code language is directly accessed and loaded from files to complete our websites appearance, interactivity and user experience…all without building/writing code from scratch.

Saves time! Saves re-writing code that already exists and has been made available for re-use.

Hi Ivan

hi all here

I started this course last week or maybe 10 days ago.
I let the few starting wisdoms of the programming masters in the book of javascript infuse within me.
But now, I do not really know how to continue, which part to read, what to write, which lesson to follow, which exercice to do.
I want to master progammming language and I got lost within the flow of info and resources…

The good new is that they are a lot of resources. But what with html? the modzilla online path, when to come back to the book, when to come back to the academy…

I will find the rhythm.

How is it running for you?

They enable us to reuse and build upon code that has already been build.

Hey @CryptoUnicorns, hope you are great!

You could ask to your student counselor to give you a guideline for the JS programming course, a quick advice is that you follow your profile and check which was the last lesson you take on the course and continue from there, if you do not remember quite well all past lessons, watch them again just to get a quick refresh on that knowledge.

If you have any more questions, please let us know so we can help you! :slight_smile:

Hi Thank you for your writing

I think of restart a few lessons back, because I dived so deeply into each. Very cool matter anyway

We use libraries so we can focus on building new features. This way we don’t need to reinvent the wheel, we we can build on top of libraries the new features we want to develop.

Q1. Why do we need libraries?
Libraries provide ready to use functions which have been developed by other programmers. If there is a task we want to perform in our web page we can look at available public libraries and search for function definition in library documentation. If available, it will save our time by using it instead of writing new code.

So as to save us the time and hassle of having to write code that has already been written by someone else. As long as a code exists that one needs the functionality go ahead and make use of it since it is open source for all to use.
