Completed JavaScript Course
The most valuable things I learned was
  1. Realizing that in regards to DOM manipulation, HTML elements are directly accessed through JavaScript itself, and therefore manipulated through it.
  2. How to interact with an API.
  3. How to destruct the API and otherwise observe the data that comes in through the API.
  4. How to write try catch blocks to gracefully handle errors.
  5. Learning about memory leaks, what causes them, and how to help prevent or fix them.
  6. Learning that memory leaks were even something you had to worry about in JavaScript at all, because I thought since JavaScript had garbage collection that was automatically managed for us.
The challenges I overcame were:
  1. Embracing imperfection.
  2. Forcing myself to download the starter code and code directly along with Hayk/resist the urge to simply watch and not do.
  3. Reading the documentation for each module.
I plan to use what I've learned to solidify my confidence in API construction and backend development.
