But, before deciding to dive right into Js, I made sure I remembered the basics of HTML and CSS, which I did.<br> Today I learnt how to run Js programs in the browser. The console.log()command . After that, I read about variables and concluded that instead of using var, only use const and let, give variable names that are easy to remember, and I was able to complete the assignments by the end of the lesson.<br> Lastly was numbers. <br> It's all about basic math, assignments, operands, integers, floating points, doubles, unary, and binary.<br> So far so good #💪</p> Daniel Wanjala Sun, 22 May 2022 16:51:38 +0000 https://dev.to/wanjala/my-first-post-5hj5 https://dev.to/wanjala/my-first-post-5hj5 <p>I'm new to programming/development and intend to utilize this platform to document my learning process.  I'll be updating this page every day to keep track of my progress. I'm working through the Odin Project curriculum. Wishing myself best of lack. </p>
