Welcome to project codeX!
We hope that you will enjoy this journey with us and that you will learn and apply lots of new skills in the process.
This introduction assumes that you have completed both these courses in Codecademy:
That you completed the project codex bootcamp
And that you are familiar with using these concepts in JavaScript:
- variables
- functions
- conditioanl statements
- loops
- basic objects
Now we are going to remove the side wheels, things might start feeling a bit unstable. To prove to you that you are not alone in this, have a look at Why Learning to Code is So Damn Hard (What every beginner absolutely needs to know about the journey ahead). It's quite a long, but interesting, read.
Now you know that you are not alone let's get going.
We would like you to register for a few online tools that we will be using at codeX.
Please register and familiarize yourself with:
You should spend about 10 mins on each site, seeing what each does and checking out the different features.
Next steps are to get you going with a few tools. Work your way through each of these exercises: they're challenging but rewarding!
So far most of the code you have written might have been inside of a browser. That's about to change!
In reality most software is written in text editors or using a more advanced text editor called an Integrated Development Environment (or IDE for short). We will use a text editor called Atom.

Now start to do some coding , but ask the mentors for an Introduction to Front End programming before you proceed.
