practiced rewriting a JavaScript tutorial on building a tip calculator
I spent an hour thinking about coding after Lachlan explained to me how he used JavaScript's truthy/falsy to build different features at Hack Club Bank. Something clicked, and I finally understood what a programmer does and how cool and limitless the world becomes when you know how to build w code.
Did a tutorial on truthy and falsy and found it confusing.
checked out the new CSS workshop by @sampoder -wow
built a button in javascript by looking at how @abby did it thank you! (the top code is hers. The bottom code is my trying "if", "else" statements which totally did not work
