JavaScript - I

• The point of these assignments is to take your knowledge of JavaScript and start putting into practice the principles learned throughout JavaScript I.

Set Up The Project With Git

Follow these steps to set up and work on your project:

• Create a forked copy of this project.
• Add your project manager as collaborator on Github.
• Clone your OWN version of the repository (Not Lambda's by mistake!).
• Create a new branch: git checkout -b <firstName-lastName>.
• Implement the project on your newly created <firstName-lastName> branch, committing changes regularly.
• Push commits: git push origin <firstName-lastName>.

Follow these steps for completing your project.

• Submit a Pull-Request to merge Branch into master (student's Repo). Please don't merge your own pull request
• Add your project manager as a reviewer on the pull-request
• Your project manager will count the project as complete by merging the branch back into master.

Assignment Description

• Complete all the exercises as described inside each assignment file. Done
• Use console.log() statements to check to see if your code does what it is supposed to do. Done
• To test your console.log() statements open up the index.html file found in the assignments folder and use the developer tools to view the console. DONE

**Note:**You could also run node /assignments/<fileName> and see what prints in your terminal.

• Once you finish the exercises in each file, commit your code, and push it to your fork.

Objects

To better understand objects, you really just need to write more of them. The objects.js file contains several challenges centered around a theme of interns starting at a new job. The Human Resources team needs information about the new hires. Use your new found object skills answer vital questions for HR.

• Read the instructions found within the file carefully to finish the challenges. 03/26/19: Done with MVP for this section
• Complete each challenge presented before moving on to Arrays.

Arrays

The arrays.js assignment takes us through a large data set of used cars. You have been asked to help a used car business with some customer requests based on their inventory. Use for loops and arrays to solve their problems.

• Utilize the the array inventory to complete your challenges 03/26/19: Done with MVP for this section
• You are not permitted to use map, reduce, or filter to solve these problems. Only use a basic for loop.
• Complete each challenge presented before moving on to stretch.

Arrow Function Syntax

• Arrow Function Syntax - Check out this awesome guide for ES6 arrow syntax. You will see more and more arrow functions as you progress deeper into JavaScript. Use the function-conversion.js file as a helper challenge to showcase some of the differences between ES5 and ES6 syntax.
  Done with the MVP and the stretch goal for Arrow syntax section

Stretch

• Move on to tomorrow's content and start studying callbacks, write a few of your own to get the hang of it.
• Look at array methods like .map(), .reduce(), .filter(). use them on the data in the arrays assignment to accomplish the same things you did with the ES5 for loop.

Breakthroughs/Challenges

Breakthroughs:

• Scoping is beginning to make a lot more sense.
• I feel more comfortable with arrow syntax.
• I have a better understanding of let, var, and const.

Challenges:

• Arrow notation as it relates to use of the this keyword is still a bit difficult for me to understand, but I think it'll be clearer with practice.

What Did I Work On:

• I worked on completing the MVP for JavaScript I and some of the stretch goals, and I also started reading the TK material related to JavaScript Fundamentals II.

What Do I Need to Do Tomorrow:

• I would like to finish the second JavaScript project and really get comfortable with Closure in JavaScript.
