Learning JavaScript

31 Aug 2023

I have had a good amount of experience with JavaScript, as I worked as an intern for a Web Development company for two years. I learned a lot of front/back-end development which involved a lot of JavaScript and I always enjoyed using the language. I think it’s interesting how JavaScript is used primarily for web development, and despite its easy difficulty and forgiving nature, it still enables the use to create extremely interactive and dynamic user interfaces.

Personal thoughts

Even with prior programming experience, I still learned a lot from this module. It helped me review everything I learned from my internship, as well as relearn certain aspects of the language that I may have forgotten. I haven’t used JavaScript in a while, so being able to explore all these concepts, syntax, and applications of JavaScript was really refreshing for me.

Personally, I think JavaScript is a great language. In my experience, I had a really easy time learning JavaScript because I knew Java beforehand. It’s a good language for all skillsets and is extremely powerful when used efficiently because of all the different frameworks that can be used with it.

So far I really am enjoying this style of learning. I feel that it revolves around a lot of individual practice and really allows you to test your knowledge on what you know. I’m excited to see how this semester goes!
