Class 7, FINAL PREPARATION: Choosing a JavaScript programming track

The first JavaScript programming track I experimented with was Kahn Academy. At first I thought it was a little difficult to understand, but as I continued to watch the tutorials and work with the programming, it became easier. I worked with adding shapes, and changing the colors, size, and location of each of them. All in all, I believe that Kahn Academy was not as user-friendly as possible.






Next, I experimented with LearnStreet, where I took a lesson on Variables and Operators. It taught me different programming lines on JavaScript. It can tell you if an inequality is true or false, the value of a variable, or do math for you. I found LearnStreet very interesting, although sometimes a little challenging!



Finally, I went to Code Academy. Code Academy had similar outcomes to LearnStreet, but I felt that it was easier to use (maybe because I had already gotten comfortable because of LearnStreet). One thing that Code Academy did uniquely was tell me more about JavaScript in general, something I found very useful (I attached an example below). 




If I had to pick one out of the three to learn JavaScript with, I would pick Code Academy, because I thought it was the most informative and user-friendly.
