I've just started my Flatiron Journey instructed by Sakib and a apart of an amazing cohort.
I came into the bootcamp with prior knowledge in HTML & CSS; my JavaScript knowledge was super limited only up to arrays and I hated them. The prep work for JS was daunting on my own DOM almost made me want to give up.
By around day 2 or 3 (it's been a long week) Sakib has helped me take my understanding from barely existing to a decent grasp. When he informed me that a Node was what JS calls a he blew my mind and made sense of what i learned during the prep work.
Overall we've established our fundamentals: HTML, (spent around 10 seconds on css) and delved into a deeper understanding of JS. We now know how to manipulate the DOM and fill even a bareboned HTML file only using only JS's .querySelector and .append; we can even add readable text with .textContent.
Most recently we learned about DB.json and how we can set up a local database, and use that DB to then manipulate the DOM with that information as well and we use GET and POST methods to achieve that.
It's fun to see the stuff we're working on and then realizing how much we use it on a daily bases and don't even think about it. I've now been viewing everything I do online through the lenses of my new found knowledge.
