In Lesson 8, you'll be learning the basics of programming and JavaScript. This will be a challenging lesson for those of you who have seen a program before. We'll go through all of this very slowly and I'll steer you towards the knowledge you need. Hang on.
- What is a program?
- Pseudo code as a way to think about logic
- Recipes and map direction walk-throughs
- Intro to JS
- Data Types (Numbers, Strings, Booleans, Null)
- Basic Ways to Output to Browser
- Variables
- Codealongs o'plenty
By the end of this class, you will:
- Understand how to think like a computer, at least crudely
- Be able to make a pseudo code walk-through of programmatic logic
- Identify simple JS syntax
- Familiarity with JS data types and their usage
- How functions and variables are used in JavaScript
- Write a program that declares a variable equal to a number 0 - 100
- If it is a multiple of 3, print “Fizz” instead of the number.
- If it is a multiple of 5, print “Buzz” instead of the number.
- If it is a multiple of both 3 and 5, print “FizzBuzz” instead of the number.
- Otherwise, print the number
