I’ve been working on a new language – JavaScript! This is where things get fun. I’m learning to program things to happen. My first project was designed in class by SkillCrush, my job was to program it what to do.

The picture and message changes based on what time it is. I also had to make the clock run, which is a lot of coding. Play with it here: https://ianmcdavid.github.io/lolcat/

This language is not new, but it’s in high demand! To work as professional developer it’s turning into a necessity, but it also brings the dough.

The first lesson of the course was a warning haha: JavaScript is hard. Take breaks, promise to ask for help, don’t break your computer… and they weren’t lying.

Good news, I’m picking it up pretty quick it seems. I’ve been taking breaks, but haven’t needed any actual help yet. We’ll see… more projects to come!

      Right now I'm working on having the clock work on this website, then I'm going to load the Nitz Ball and a fake election map I just finished.

    Hey Ian, this looks great. I would love to have that sleeping kitten.. maybe not the party kittens. Congrats on all your hard work. Glad you're getting the hang of it pretty well. Carry on.. keep us in the work loop!
