![]() The fact you need to gain familarily with more than one language at once is probably the biggest downside of using Javascript as your first programming language. ![]() Given Javascript runs in the web browser, that means it works very closely with HTML and CSS which are a couple of other web based languages you will need to gain some familiarity with. ![]() If you are stuck with getting an editor and/or the Chrome development tools installed and working, watch the first video in my Learning Javascript series.Įnough jibber jabber. To access the Chrome DevTools, simply right click anywhere on a website and choose Inspect. I will focus on the Chrome web browser in this book, but Firefox has equally good tools you can use as well. The other thing you will want is the development tools for your web browser. ![]() There are several very good free text editors designed for programmers and I recommend you downloading and installing one of these (if you are a student of mine, you likely already have a suitable editor on your school computer): That said, to actually write Javascript it would be helpful to have an editor that is a little more intelligent than, say, Notepad. It is built into your favourite web browser. One easy thing about Javascript is you already have it on your computer without perhaps realising it. Additionally any files you may need to complete exercises, any corrections to errors that went to print, along with guides to other useful Python tricks that may not have made it into the book, can all be found at my website. I encourage you to check them out to help you along your programming adventures. I have videos on my YouTube channel that parallel many of the concepts and exercises in this book. The written explainations have been deliberately kept short, intended to be more of a "reminder/prompt" of an idea rather than a full introduction to an idea.Īs a teacher of secondary school students, and the fact that I wrote this book in the process of preparing resources to use for my own lessons, the book is largely pitched at the 12-17 age range. This book has not been written to be used as a stand alone resoure for learning programming without a teacher or tutor. It contains all the demonstrated programming on the videos, summaries of the explanations given in those videos, and a set of practice exercises for students to complete for each skill. Miss Burney (1778) has skimper-scamper "in hurry and confusion.This book has been written as a supplemental resource to the classroom based lessons I teach, or to accompany my introduction to programming with Javascript videos on Youtube. "To which he might have added," Moor writes, crincum-crankum, crinkle-crankle, flim-flam, fiddle-faddle, gibble-gabble, harum-scarum, helter-skelter, hiccup-suickup, hocus-pocus, hotch-potch, hugger-mugger, humdrum, hum-strum, hurry-scurry, jibber-jabber, prittle-prattle, shilly-shally, tittle-tattle, and topsy-turvy. 1600).Įdward Moor, "Suffolk Words and Phrases" (London, 1823), quotes a list of "conceited rhyming words or reduplications" from the 1768 edition of John Ray's "Collection of English Words Not Generally Used," all said to "signify any confusion or mixture " the list has higgledy-piggledy, hurly-burly, hodge-podge, mingle-mangle, arsy-versy, kim-kam, hub-bub, crawly-mauly, and hab-nab. Reduplications in the h-/ p- pattern are common (as in hanky-panky, hocus-pocus, hinch(y)-pinch(y), an obsolete children's game, attested from c.
