Update

Thought i would give a quick update on my learning about coding, i am still working through the exercises regarding coding on code academy. Currently I'm finding the exercise really useful and helpful to my learning.

Currently I'm working on if or else statements, at the moment some of the exercises are complex and confusing but as soon as you complete the exercise it seems to all CLICK. A if or else statement is a action that involves two variables and the functions of true and false. Hopefully my learning will continue to expand in this area.

Algorithms and Comparing programming languages

We started looking at other types of programming languages and their advantages and disadvantages. Comparing languages is useful as we can see which ones will take a lot longer to code, which ones will be faster to run and which one will meet the personalized required solution to the "issue".

For example assembly language takes a very long time to create (disadvantage) however it runs extremely quickly (advantage).

Also we started looking at algorithms, an algorithm is a set of steps that describes how to solve a problem or how to perform a task. We did a couple of exercises to try and get us thinking in algorithms I.e. listing a task in the correct order of steps.

I have been continuing my use of codeacademy and am slowing working through the useful and important exercises.

What is javascript?????

Today we started the new outcome for I.T. Its called javascript, at first it seemed like it was a foreign language that i would never get my head around. But when i started work on codeacademy.com it started to come back!!!

Javascript is a form of "coding" that is used to help create websites. So far in my introduction to coding we have looked at if statements and console.log and other similar variables. I have also learnt about the olors in the code and what the mean and how to identify a variable.
