After completing the second week of school and getting some hands on experience from using javascript, I think javascript is a fun language to learn. I like using javascript because it lets me declare variables without declaring a data type. For example in java you would declare an integer value as int num = 0;, but in javascript you can declare your integer value as let num = 0;. In javascript instead of using different data types to declare variables you can just use let, const, or var to initialize your variables, depending on what you plan on doing with your declared variables.
I believe that javascript would be useful for a software engineer. Javascript is most commonly used on webpages. The programmer writes javascript code and when an html page is pulled up the javascript is sent to the broswer and the browser does something with it. So, for a software engineer the most common place they would use javascript would be working on a webpage.
After completing two WODs I became aware that I was unprepared and that I need more practice. I think that having daily javascript “quizzes” in a sense is a good thing because it prepares the students for projects with a time limit. I believe that doing the practice WODs helped prepare me a little, but I think I needed a bit more practice. I think the take away is that practice and repetition will help me succeed in this class.
