The Beginning
console.log("hello world")
My journey into Web development began with Javascript and It’s a choice I am quite proud of. At the time, I wasn’t fully aware of its capabilities. Every once in a while I marvel at the endless possibilities it has to offer.
Goal
Learning by doing.
Writing software that people (or myself) get to use is something I live for. I recently discovered that helping others do the same is something I enjoy too. My goal is to share the knowledge I’ve acquired, engage with and inspire other developers to do the same.
Articles will feature writing, testing and deploying server-side applications using NodeJS. Some of the areas I’ll cover include web crawling, sockets, Discord bots and database hosting among others.
Why Javascript?
As a developer, one needs to be Language Agnostic. There isn’t a ‘superior’ or ‘inferior’ programming language. I’ve decided to base the articles on Javascript since it’s the language I am most comfortable with. The projects which will be featured can be as easily implemented using any programming language.
Target Audience
Learning the fundamentals of a language before diving into projects is the best way to avoid frustrations when debugging code. The first article will feature a Javascript crash-course which I believe will be a good way to kick off this journey. Therefore, anyone with prior programming experience in any other language will be able to follow along.
The crash-course will only cover the basics of the language. As we progress through different projects, you will get to learn more.
Some ideas may seem impossible but one day they will feel inevitable.
