I can’t remember if I’ve written about this before – probably not, considering how infrequently I’ve actually been blogging!
But anyway. Coding for fun! Some time last summer (I think) I discovered CodeAcademy and I’ve been playing around on there ever since. At the moment I’m going through their revised / new Javascript course, even though I’ve already done the original one. Because I’m a geek and it’s fun. I’m also working through the “Code Year” track, and I’m planning to do the PHP and Ruby ones after that.
It’s good for keeping my brain in gear. :-)
Mind you, I haven’t done much over, again, the last six months due to wonky-brain issues – more on that another time. I’ve just started up again this week, though. Unfortunately, where I picked up was right at the end of the original JS track, and I’d done something weird with my code. Oops! I haven’t tracked the bug down yet, but I’ll go back to it later on. Doing the easier exercises on the new track should help me get my head back into the right place for that.
Very nice! I’d love to hear more specifics about what you’re learning and writing.
I just did a javascript blackjack game, which was fun. But now I’ve gone waaaaaay back to basics – partly so I can have the course properly completed on my profile (yeah, I know), and partly for a brain-refresher. A bit of revision never hurts! So right now I’m on the section about arrays. It won’t take long to work through though :-)
