Class 7, FINAL PREPARATION: Choosing a JavaScript programming track

For the homework due this week, we had to try out 3 different websites that teach Javascript. They were Khan Academy Computer Science program, Learn Street, and Codecademy. I think learning about programming and coding for this homework assignment was very interesting. The websites I explored all seemed to have a different approach to teaching it. The Khan Academy used audio as well as video and hands-on all simultaneously to teach, which I think would probably be best for the beginners. I liked the audio and visuals, but had trouble getting some of the visuals to show up where they were supposed to. Learn Street had videos that you had the option of viewing videos and they used typed instructions to tell you what to do so you could learn. I got a little confused during some of the exercises, so I feel like this one would be better for people that already have atleast some knowledge. Code Academy was my favorite of them. They only used the typed instructions, but I really liked that they explained exactly what each command was for. I definitely plan on going back to the website in some of my spare time to learn more!
