@justinbmeyer

so sites like Facebook / Twitter / GMail / etc could not be written without it

Marshall Thompson

@marshallswain

And is there any other language that you can use on both the client AND server?

Mick McGrath

@mickmcgrath13

Javascript is extremely versatile - DOM manipulation, server-side processing, Data transfer, and even database systems can all be accomplished with JS (my thoughts, anyway)

Tony Brown

@anthonybrown

I missed most of this video, will it be available to watch later?

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

it should be available almost immediately

Tony Brown

@anthonybrown

Thanks Justin

I'm totally stoked that you are doing this series

Is this a preview to a course you guys are developing?

or is this the course that we are watching

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

@alexisabril is going to post a blog article for each article that contains:

the video
the slides
an outline of what was covered
a link to the place in this gitter room when the video started

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

fantastic! Thanks, guys

cool

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

@anthonybrown Happy to do it. Yes, we are working toward a new course with these.

Tony Brown

@anthonybrown

So is this gitter room going to be the place we meet all the time?

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

Where will @alexisabril post all of the goodies? (I apologize if this question was already answered) :)

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

yeah

Tony Brown

@anthonybrown

Nice, I'll favorite the room

blog.bitovi.com is where this will be

Sonju

@Sonju

I enjoyed today's training. In future trainings I'd like more discussion about the DOM how it works with JS and internet in general. I am a newbie developer and I'm learning to code in JS and all its libraries. These trainings will help me understand my JS/JQuery etc codes. Also, I would like a bit more understanding of computer programming (I hold liberal art degrees and I am transition into a tech field) . Thanks for the (free) course!

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

cool, thanks!

Tony Brown

Thanks @alexisabril

I need a project or something to get me motivated

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

@Sonju I am doing the same (transitioning out of a music career into the tech field!) :)

Lyndsey Browning

@lyndseybrowning

For me, I find learning the concepts OK. It's finding real life situations in which to use them that is the challenge

Tony Brown

@anthonybrown

@lyndseybrowning me too

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

@lyndseybrowning Yes! Same here!

Lyndsey Browning

@lyndseybrowning

@anthonybrown Definitely think of a project. I did this; I wrote my own little word game in vanilla JS so that I could become more accustomed to not using jQuery and also understanding prototype. It helped a lot

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

My friends call that "constipation of the brain". Having all of the knowledge up there, but not being able to use it in "real life". :)

Tony Brown

@anthonybrown

lol

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

@/all Thanks everyone for joining! I'm going to get back to work. If you have anything for me specifically, just @justinbmeyer so I see it. Thanks again :-)

Tony Brown

@anthonybrown

Hey thanks again Bitovi

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

Thanks!

Lyndsey Browning

@lyndseybrowning

By not using jQuery, I mean not relying on it so much, where it may not be needed :)

Sonju

@Sonju

@Madelene Good luck to you! A know how to read sheet music from my days as viola player in middle school. Do you find coding like reading music?

Hey , here are some ideas for coding projects: http://www.codeconquest.com/programming-projects/ideas-for-programming-projects/

Albert Shala

@vanal

Madelene Campos

@Madelene

@Sonju THANKS. Good luck to you, too! I think we're "doing the right thing". There are so many opportunities out there in the tech field :) Coding is similar to music! The skills are transferrable: Patterns, practice, discipline, etc. Thanks for the coding projects idea, btw :)

OlgaMaraeva

@OlgaMaraeva

Justin, thank you a lot for your lesson. If possible consider the following part of Javascript for your next lessons: callbacks + promises, prototypes, recursion, module pattern, higher order functions (Lambdas). Have a good day!

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

@OlgaMaraeva We will get to that, but in about 2-3 lessons. You can check the schedule and see when we talk about closures / prototypes. We will talk all about dependency management eventually.

@papajo

Ali Baitam

@abaitam

Thanks for making this training available. I liked the conceptual introduction rather than the usual boring language details that are easy to lookup. One thing that confuses me with JS is the exploding tools/frameworks/libraries in the ecosystem. If you at least mention few of these and what they are and how they relate/differ from others; it would be great help. Thanks again.

OlgaMaraeva

@OlgaMaraeva

@justinbmeyer Thank you for answer! I will wait for your lessons. Its really interesting and easy to understand.

@abaitam There is a post may be useful for you http://www.quora.com/JavaScript-Frameworks/AngularJS-Meteor-Backbone-Express-or-plain-NodeJs-When-to-use-each-one

Marshall Thompson

@marshallswain

@abaitam Looking at the schedule here: http://blog.bitovi.com/free-weekly-online-javascript-training/ it looks like that topic is scheduled to be covered on September 2nd. That’s a few weeks out. :) Probably because there’s plenty of directly JS-related stuff to cover before diving into the frameworks that are built on top of it.

Alexis Abril

@alexisabril

Welcome everyone! We’ll get started shortly, just a few technical difficulties :)

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

@/all We are about to get started

Alexis Abril

@alexisabril

and we’re live!

Feel free to ask any questions you may have here!
