Scimba Learning Environment

So! Recently I finished up a 4-week Javascript course through Scrimba, which I discovered through Coursera. The Scrimba learning environment is a little different than a traditional class/tutorial because you can interact with the screen at any point, change the code, and save your change as a note to return to later.

In addition to doing the "scrims" I followed along in my own files in VSCode. This is like double-dipping learning. You are experiencing each lesson twice, once in the scrim, and then once off to the side on your own. I like having my own separate file because I often work WAY ahead and ensure I make it my own by over complicating things and going into tangential mini deep-dives on the learning projects, such as css animations (love) and things slightly out-of-scope for the lesson like extra buttons or functions. Great way to learn!

The final lesson was connecting a shopping list to a database. Pretty cool to see things remove automatically when I click a button in my file! Onward and upward.
