Thoughts on Javascript

Javascript

Because the majority of my programming classes and projects are done with C/C++, I am more familiar with the C/C++ style of programming than Javascript. However, after doing Python programming projects and developing an interest in Node.js this past summer, I am beginning to realize that most programming languages are fairly similar in terms of syntax and logic.

Syntactically, Javascript reminds me of Python and C++. The comments, loops, and need for semicolons are very C-like, while the variable declarations are similar to Python.

Although I haven’t compeleted this course or my Node.js projects yet, I am developing a growing interest in the new frameworks and services provided by new languages.

WODs

Workouts of the day are a little stressful since I normally don’t do well under extreme pressure. However, I enjoy doing the WODs since it helps me practice a skill that I might not have done on my own.

Overall, I am pleased with the way that the course and programming language have been, but my opinions might change at the end of this course.
