Hi, I’m shine.
I’m a person who loves the web. I try to make the web better in the little ways I can.
I was talking to Vijay, a colleague, about the progress of my experiment. He opined that it was a bad idea to ditch the test-driven learning approach for a structured course. He thought the test-driven learning approach would provide more value to me than the course. I agreed with him partly. On one hand, the course was dragging because it was focused on absolute beginners. On the other hand, the test-driven learning was too complicated for me to get a good grip on it either. My level was somewhere in between these two.
I decided to try JavaScript. I was suggested to try test-driven learning. While I was familiar with the concept of test-driven development, I wasn’t aware test-driven learning was actually a thing until today. I was pointed to JS Katas which does exactly that.
I’ve played around with HTML, CSS extensively before, but I haven’t really put my hand deep into the JavaScript jar before.
