Intro to Programming in JavaScript

Hello! Welcome to our mini-workshop today 😄 We are so excited to get you started.

Getting Started

You will need:

Go through the materials! Feel free to email us with coding questions: [email protected]
Read and DO THE EXERCISES in Eloquent JavaScript, chapters 1 through 5
Practice coding challenges on Code Wars
Learn some HTML + CSS:
- Create your own website using HTML and CSS
Harvard's free online CS50x is a great way to push yourself gain experience with different languages work on projects
Attend tech meetups and get immersed in the scene!
- Code Chrysalis
- DevJapan
- There are so many more!---find them on Meetup.com and Connpass.com
- Our list of events and communities for women in Tokyo

Don't be afraid to reach out to other professionals or to the community at large. Someone is always willing to teach!
Don't be afraid to ask for help or help people back.
Practice, practice, practice. Just reading won't do anything.
Stick with one language--learning multiple languages in the beginning can be confusing.
Google is your best friend.
Be careful with copy and pasting code---always make sure you understand it. Don't study the solution.
Read/learn to read the documentation. It's hard and frustrating, just like learning any other new skill.
Failing a lot is completely normal. Coding is an unending parade of error messages--as long as you're getting a new error, you're making progress.
Stay small---focus on the next possible thing to do.
