Class 7, FINAL PREPARATION: Choosing a JavaScript programming track.

First I checked out Khan Academy. I found this pretty interesting. Khan Academy is computer programing. I started off with all the tutorials. You use different codes to create different shapes, sizes, colors, and so on. For example rectangle code would look like rect() and then in the parenthases you type different numbers to change the sizes. On thing I liked about Khan Academy is that you can see your work change as you go on the side screen. 

Next I checked out a site called learn street. In this tutorial I learned how to create different variables. For example one reference could be myName. Then you can add a series of names. Then you could type myAge. You can do this with multiple names. Then say you want to find out Bobs age. You would type bobsAge. This then references to bobs age through the age variable that you created. Say Bob is 25. It will then show you he is 25. There are many other functions of learn street using variables, loops, strings, arrays, and more.

After that I checked out code academy. Code academy is a programing site that allows you to create websites using HTML. I found this site pretty easy to use at least so far. I also have learned a bit of HTML before so it wasn't all new to me. I like how you see on the site what everything looks like as you create your site. You use different <tags> </> open and closing. I found this slightly easier than using the notebook for html. I like the fact that you can see your progress, and spacing immediately.

Out of all three I found code academy the easiest for me. I think however this is because I already know HTML a bit. I liked the set up of Khan Academy. I think if I spent more time on it I might enjoy using it more. Learn Street I found the most difficult. Just personally am not used to this type of programing. Overall I liked code academy the most but If i spent more time with the other two I may change my opinion.
