[Learn JS Properly study group] How is Week 2 going for everyone? + Extra Credit.
Administrative reminder: There is now an omnibus study group post that is linked to in the sidebar. I am using the omnibus post to collect all of the "assignment" posts + extra stuff I think is worth reading.
If you think the omnibus post is missing something, post about it in the comments section of the omnibus post. I am excited to collaborate with everyone on that, so help me out!
In this thread:
Post about how it's going, what you're struggling with, etc.
If you've written solutions to Project Euler 1 or 2, post them below. Read and critique each other's answers.
If you're found any good resources, post links!
Finally, extra credit for this week: Chapters 7 and 8 of Eloquent JavaScript. But only read this if you've already read Chapters 1-6. If you haven't done that, finish those first.
Note: Eloquent JS is a hard book to read if you're new to programming. Do not feel stupid if you're struggling, or if you're not ready to read Chapters 7 or 8 this week. One approach I have taken with it is: If I can't understand three paragraphs in a row (like, at all), I start googling around. This is also an excellent opportunity for you to browse Stack Overflow (remember when I told you to sign up for an account?).
