I might get in on this, Rob asked me about doing this with him a day or two ago. Maybe by then I'll be able to do JS a little better and make something cool

You can use as little or as much JS as you want!

yea but I feel like it would be the best challenge and learning exercise for me right now
@davidjcastner@Alexander-Huh type this in the java console java.lang.System.out.println(Array(16).join('wat' - 1) + ' Batman!’)

Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
It was amazeballs
@vidman22_twitter@dcpking_twitter@davidjcastner@Alexander-Huh@angelinasimms and three others (if my math is right here - Kevin, Rich and Johan) all came together for an incredible meeting. We nearly filled the room. Nine people total

@rmaylie9560

I'll let others chime in about what was covered as I spend most of the time going over MontCode and getting people set up with FreeCodeCamp.

@rmaylie9560

Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
More new than not new!
If you would have come it would have tied!

@rmaylie9560
I know, i wanted to come. i was bummed i missed it. The graduation was kind of lame.
long winded speeches and an endless list of names in alphabetical order

So it took me an hour to learn this little tid bit... Replace(); does not effect a string directly. it returns a copy and a variable is needed... (facepalm)
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
Ugh, that trips me up sometimes too. I did what you did. Now when something doesn't work I check to see if it's like that first thing. Harsh lesson to learn.

It's funny, the times that I debug is when I learn the most. It makes you such about every nuance about the methods you're using and the stress seems to burn the information deep into your memory.
