I published a rough proof-of-concept of my #AgeVerification idea at #NeoCities. Put the presidents or the game consoles (only two topics so far) in chronological order to prove your are old enough.

Of course, need some research to show how well it would work, but using accuracy and completion time should be somewhat indicative of age.

In full form, it would require many more topics and successful completion of more than one.

Hi everyone! How's your evening going? I've had a challenging day and night with a lot of pain and fatigue. After resting all day, I'm feeling better and ready to dive back into my studies. I'm currently working on the Front-End Development Libraries certification on freeCodeCamp and tackling lesson 14 of my Braille proofreading course. Before I get started, I should probably tuck my dog Squeaker into his kennel for the night—he's been napping under my desk in his daytime bed. 😊

Hey fellow devs and learners! 👋 I'm looking for some extra practice with JavaScript and jQuery. Does anyone know of any free or low-cost text-based tutorials, courses, or interactive games that could help?

I've been working through freeCodeCamp, but I feel like I need more hands-on practice to really grasp JavaScript. Bonus points for accessibility-friendly resources!

Some things I'm interested in:
• Interactive coding challenges
• Text-based tutorials (great for screen readers!)
• Gamified learning experiences
• Practical projects to build

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Let's share resources and help each other learn. #CodeNewbie #JavaScript #jQuery #WebDev #a11y #programming #learningToProgram #learningToCode #accessibility

🎉 **Finally finished my #freeCodeCamp cash register project!** 🎉

This one was a real challenge, but with the support of several amazing people, persistence, and some thorough Web searches, I got it done! This has been the hardest project yet, but now I’m 4/5 of the way through the #JavaScript certification! 🙌

Next up is a project that will dive into #asynchronous programming. Here’s what I’ll be tackling:

**Project: Learn Asynchronous Programming by Building an fCC Forum Leaderboard**
*Status: Not started*

JavaScript is an asynchronous programming language, and this project will help me gain proficiency in asynchronous concepts. I’ll be coding my own freeCodeCamp forum leaderboard. 🚀

This project will cover:
- The Fetch API
- Promises
- Async/Await
- The try..catch statement

I’m making so much progress and learning a lot! Sometimes it feels frustrating when things take longer to understand, but I know that every step is part of the journey. 💪✨

Still stuck on this #freeCodeCamp #JavaScript project. I've used console.log statements to look at what different functions are returning, but I don't understand why they're returning what they are for test 18 and 19. Can someone please help? I just posted my code on the freeCodeCamp forum, and you can find it at: https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/build-a-cash-register-project-build-a-cash-register/717252
#JS #programming #coding #learningToCode #learningToProgram #beginnerProgrammer #beginnerCoder #JavaScriptIsHard Good evening all. Just woke up and had something to eat, leftover pizza from yesterday. Going to get dressed and then try to tackle this #freeCodeCamp #JavaScript project again. Still feeling a little overwhelmed and unsure how to fix things, but hopefully it will go better now that I've slept some.

I'm working on the cash register #JavaScript project from #freeCodeCamp (https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures-v8/build-a-cash-register-project/build-a-cash-register), and I almost have it, but I keep failing one or two of the tests. Right now, it's test 19. I added my #code to #JSBin, which is more #accessible than #CodePen, and it can be found here: https://jsbin.com/yiratay/edit?html,js,output
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Okay, going to go get a shower and hope it doesn't make me so tired I can't stay awake, which happens frequently no matter how much I've slept. And then I'm going to come back to my computer and get started on this #freeCodeCamp project: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures-v8/build-a-cash-register-project/build-a-cash-register
I'm almost done with the #JavaScript course. Lol #JS is still hard though.

#blind #programmers and those learning to #program like me: Do you think it would be useful to have a group here on #Mastodon for blind #devs? I've been getting questions from other blind people about the tools I use and #coding with a #screenReader, so I was thinking it might be neat to have a place where we can all talk and exchange tips.

Edit: group exists now: @blindprogrammers

Wow, I've done a lot while I've been awake. Finished a #JavaScript project on #freeCodeCamp, did the drills for lesson 11 of my #Braille #proofreading course, finished and submitted the lesson 11 exercises, talked to quite a few people on here and created a group for #Christians, checked #email, played a little of each of the #incrementalGames I have going right now, and completed another short #JS project on freeCodeCamp. I'm wiped out and think I'm going to get ready to go to bed. It's after 1:00 PM here but I have no #sleep schedule because of multiple #sleepDisorders, so going to bed in the middle of the day isn't unusual for me.

Lol the excitement when I've been stuck on a #coding problem for hours and finally figure it out is amazing. It's so frustrating to be stuck but when I figure it out I love it.

Hi all. Almost done with my project to build a dice game with #JS on #freeCodeCamp, but I'm stuck yet again. I feel like I'm doing what this challenge says to do, but my tests keep failing.

Just posting this everywhere I can in hopes to find someone who can help. Lol I've reviewed my code several times and I'm still stuck.

Looking for help with a #JavaScript project on #freeCodeCamp. I think this time I'm stuck. Link to step: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures-v8/review-algorithmic-thinking-by-building-a-dice-game/step-12
CodePen with what I have so far: https://codepen.io/Lanie_Carmelo/pen/NWQggzV
I feel like I'm doing what it says to do, but it keeps telling me to set score to 0, rolls to 0, and round to 1. Can anyone help?

Lol #JavaScript can be confusing. I'm learning it using freeCodeCamp.org, and several months in, I've still been totally confused on the difference between function calls and function references. I've been getting errors when I do my challenges telling me I need to pass a function as a reference and wondering why I got that error when the function call was where it was supposed to be. I finally realized that passing it as a reference meant writing it without parentheses, but I still didn't understand when or why to do this. I just read a couple articles that finally cleared this up for me, though, and I get it now. If you call the function, it's executed immediately, where if you pass it as a reference, it doesn't get executed until that point in the code.

Was showing my 15yo some basic gpt3 stuff this morning and he was amazed. That same kind of amazed he had when I would pull coins from his ear when he was 4 heh.

I got up to refill my coffee and he sat down to modify the prompt in the openai cli example I was using to ask "is Trevor cooler than Zate" and laughed when the response informed him that Zate was infact cooler than Trevor.

I then showed him how I could generate 6 topic sections for a blog on "The Ethics of using #AI to do your homework" and then ask it to generate 2 paragraphs for a specific topic.

Lightbulbs went off lol. Now he is finally asking me if I can help him learn to program. So finding him some resources to learn python. Only been trying to do that for about 8 years lol.

I thought it would be games that got him into tech (like me) but it turns out that AI is interesting to him.
