JavaScript Fundamentals

In this repository, each project file will contain it's own README which will describe the exercises I had to complete for that individual project.

In the first module (Phase One), I learnt the basics of Javascript through a series of exercises, either building on previous knowledge or discovering new concepts. Towards the end of the module I built more complex programs such as the shopping-basket program, which allowed me to bring in all the knowledge I had learnt throughout the module.

In phase 2, I work through challenges designed to help me learn how to use JavaScript in a real application, including unit tests, multiple classes, and external dependencies on packages and remote APIs.

Learning objectives this week:

• Test-drive a simple Javascript program using Node.
• Explain how asynchronous programming is different from synchronous, blocking programming.
• Apply a coherent process to learn a new language.
