Week 6

WELCOME TO REACT!!!
We're starting react now! We started making our own SPAs. A SPA is also known as a Single Page Application. It loads a single document in a browser with JS APIs and grabs data using HTTP request or the fetch method.
React components use a render() method that takes input data and returns what to display.
Also whole receiving input data (this.props), a component can keep it's internal state data (this.state). When a component’s state data changes, the rendered markup will be updated by re-invoking render(). You can, using props and state, put together a small application that will track the current data as well as the text that the user has input.
React also lets us interface with other libraries and frameworks. And since it's written in JS, you can easily pass data through your app and keep state out of the DOM.

Its Getting Shifty!!

#Weeks 4 & 5

Its been getting crazy! The methods and terminology isn't hard to understand. We're going over filters, functionality, and modular extensibility.
Filters are types of modules that we cam use in our code to help with functionality. We can create new directories and index JS files to then add data and code for export into our root index JS file for functionality.
We've also learned about the keyup method that does actions once someone has started typing in a text field.

Understanding the concepts isn't the hard part, it's actually applying it and making sure everything doesn't crash and still functions! This is the start to React JS s0 I know it's gonna be a rocky road!!!

Whoa there Bubba!!!!

Weeks 2 & 3

Functions & Object Oriented Programming

What we learned these past two weeks have been challenging, but yet very productive. We've been going over objects, arrays, and functions.

Functions are one of the fundamental building blocks in JavaScript. A function in JavaScript is similar to a procedure—a set of statements that performs a task or calculates a value, but for a procedure to qualify as a function, it should take some input and return an output where there is some obvious relationship between the input and the output. To use a function, you must define it somewhere in the scope from which you wish to call it. Functions can be declared or expressed. The difference between the two id when and where they are invoked. We've also discussed how a function can be called in another function, which is called closures. Closures are the nesting of functions, and grants the inner function full access to all the variables and functions defined inside the outer function.

Object Oriented Programming or OOP is based on the concept of "objects", which can contain data and code: attributes or properties, and code, in the form of methods. Objects can contain related data and code, which represent information about the thing you are trying to model, and functionality or behavior that you want it to have. Object data can be encapsulated in a namespace making it easy to structure and access.

Special thanks to the MDN for helping me understand these definitions more thoroughly!!

Lets get this party started!!! #NOOB

Week 1

Our first week wasn't bad. We went over the fundamentals of basic JS, GIT, and Github. The coding itself can prove to be difficult and I've seen myself getting stuck multiple times. I'm glad we have mentor to talk to and other people who are also in the cohort to help if there's ever a problem. I will be explaining the three topics we've covered so far.

JavaScript is the scripting language that we use to create dynamic functionality on the web. It is a text-based programming language that allows you to make web pages interactive. Where HTML and CSS are languages that give structure and style to what you see on web pages, such as words, colorization, and some images, JavaScript gives web pages interactive elements that engage a user, and runs the background work. JS can be used in both client-side and server-side.

Git is a version control system (VCS) that helps with tracking files in what is called a repository. This is helpful because when you edit a file, git can help you determine exactly what changed, who changed it, and why! WHen multiple people are on a project, Git can be used to help keep track of changes and tracking progress. This can be done with a command-line interface (CLI), a graphical user interface (GUI or gooey), or by using Github itself!
