The last few days I have been working on solving various JS assignments from Colt's Bootcamp - finishing the to-do list and a few others he gave, as well as challenging myself to Code Wars 'katas' (a name they use for their coding tests). It's been really helpful in terms of diving deeper into arrays, methods and writing my on functions.
I am slowly starting to feel a difference in my JS proficiency. When I first registered on Code Wars even the easiest katas were overwhelming and difficult for me. I cannot say I am 'fluent' now but I definitely understand better what I am being asked to do, how to research and solve errors when I get them. I am still only tackling the low level katas at the moment but I think soon I will be able to attempt the higher level ones. It's fun to see this progress knowing that at some point I wanted to completely give up on JS thinking I will never get it.
I have two articles on my reading list right now: one about the difference between Function Declarations and Expressions, and other about Regular Expressions (Regex). The second one I found when I was looking into adding another parameter in a .replace method and had a really tough time understanding how others do it. Eventually, I figured it out after many trials and errors (and probably a lucky guess) so I bookmarked this article for further research to turn confusion into comprehension.
I think writing a post every single day might be too much to handle and I will be switching into discussing a theme or subject that has been occupying me for a certain amount of days and summing it up with more insight gathered after exploring it well enough. I want this challenge to be mainly focused on coding and second on writing.
