Filter and Map...

How exactly does a map function work>>?? Map takes two arguements and then the callback will run through the entire array and then it will return a new value for each item in the array. Thus resulting in a new array. Filter on the other hand is different. If you have an array and only want to few specific things from it and don't need the rest. This is the function that you would use. It takes information from your current array that returns "true", if it doesn't return as true, then it won't be filtered. It will create a new array and not change the first one. This is what we learned last week and it took me till today to remember all of that.

So, here we are ready to start week #4. Getting optimistic about the future. Things are slowly coming together. It isn't as easy as I thought that it would be though. Changing careers is hard!! LOL... But I am hanging in there, I have to.. Any advice on how to remember all of this would be greatly appreciated..

New Beginnings

I have made a choice to change careers.. Getting out of retail management and into something that I truly thought that I could be good at. Is it too late for an old dog to learn new tricks? I learned to type on one of the first apple computers while in middle school back in the 80's, I thought that this would be something easy to comprehend. Turns out "not so much", learning is slow and I feel like when I lived in Germany and didn't speak any German.
