This course covered Typescript comprehensively, from the foundational basics of simple type annotations all way to the complexities of using it with various JS libraries and web frameworks. It was exciting to be working on a course designed, not necessarily for beginners to software development, but rather developers who are beginners in this specific content. There was a lot of assumed knowledge, which made this course occasionally challenging, but ultimately was a great experience to move beyond basic tutorial.
This course covered some foundational HTML and CSS skills in a project-based setting. Throughout the course, I made quite a few websites with varying structures, designs and styles. By the time I started this course, I had a fairly strong handle on these skills, so this course was straightforward and I completed it quickly. It was a good opportunity to really drill into my CSS skills and get more confident through repetition.
With this bootcamp, I was able to really focus in on my Javascript skills to gain a solid foundation. While working through the content, I developed a confidence to write my own JS code to do what I wanted, rather than just repeating the same things I've seen instructors do in previous courses. During this course I made the To-Do Tracker and Quote Machine that you can check out and use in the "Projects" section of this site.
This course included more recent functionalities of HTML5, CSS3, and JS6, but also added jQuery and Bootstrap. My personal favorite part of this course was the Pipboy from Bethesda's Fallout games, a project created with Bootstrap, jQuery, and vanilla Javascript.
In this course, I took my first formal foray into the world of web development. From the baby steps of basic HTML document structure, to CSS stylings and cool hover effects, to the (at the time) complexities of JavaScript conditionals and loops.
