First Week

Over this week, I have learned a TON about javascript. I learned how to draw multiple shapes with code, use variables, and have text appear on the screen. I also learned how to animate shapes on the screen. Today, I used what I learned to create an ad campaign poster for a new, fake apple product. If you would like to view it, use the link below:

If you would like to watch it again, just press restart under the animation!

Introduction

My name is Jack, and I am in the 8th grade. Programs play a big part in our everyday lives, even if you don't know it. If you drove to work or school today, you must of encountered a traffic light at some point. That traffic light runs on a series of code, or, a program. A program is a collection of instructions that perform a specific task. Through my 20% time project, I plan to learn how to code in the programming language, JavaScript. JavaScript is the main language of the internet that allows users to make their websites both more presentable and interactive. To learn how to code, I will be taking a class on Kahn Academy. I look forward to both beginning and completing this project.
