Hello fellow-JS-ers,
Tomorrow night (Thursday 4/28) at Javascript night, I'm planning to work through
this lecture/program on some aspects of the language I haven't yet gone deeply into. Hopefully enough interested people show up to do the pair programing part of the agenda :)
From the event page:
- Learn and build with the hard parts of JavaScript through intuitive lectures and pair-programming
- This week for Javascript - The Hard Parts we cover Callbacks and Higher Order Functions. This includes how to handle or recreate the functions:
- map • reduce • forEach This is a concept that 80% of JavaScript engineers do not understand but are at the core of every single successful application.
- This is possible because we'll understand the essence of these tough concepts and then switch into pair-programming through the challenges to cement the concepts
- The evening session is comprised of:
- 6:30 - 6:45pm: Sign in and meet your future pair programming partner.
- 6:45 - 7:15pm: Core JavaScript concept for the challenge and introduction to the secret hack for learning to code - pair-programming.
- 7:15 - 8:00pm: Pair-programming.
If anyone has suggestions for better tutorials for these concepts in JS specifically, please let me know. Otherwise, it will be interesting to try it out and see what happens, and maybe get some new people in the space.
