    @anthonybrown
    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!) :)

    @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!

    @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
    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". :)

    @/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 :-)

    Hey thanks again Bitovi

    @Madelene
    Thanks!

    @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/

    Hi
    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 :)

    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.

    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

    @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.

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

    @/all We are about to get started

    Feel free to ask any questions you may have here!

    why type of Nan return number?
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    @rjsmith25 I’ll get that answered in the video :)
    right after this summary

    It shows just fine on our end.

    @Madelene
    looks good on this end

    @alexisabril Are you guys storing the video tutorials somewhere, so that we can revisit them? I usually miss the first part :(
    Russell Smith
    @rjsmith25
    its on youtube
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    We sure do! It’s all available via our youtube channel, but also on blog.bitovi.com

    I’ll put up a new post each week following the broadcast

    @niceindividual
    kinda reminds me of the index on a hard drive
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    Similar logic! If you’ve ever done any assembler development, this would look very familiar
    Madelene Campos
    @Madelene
    Shouldn't c be under the 5 instead of the 2?
    cool
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    @Madelene you’re correct, it was a typo but moving the c would’ve also fixed the example
    Madelene Campos
    @Madelene
    got it :) Thanks :)
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    typo with writing…write-o? :)
