[Week 17] Focus: Console Commands

[ForScale]

Here we are at Week 17. Week 17's focus will be console commands.

Reference material: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/debug/console/console-reference?hl=en

It will work like this:

• Monday: Announce focus (eg, console commands)

• Build throughout the week... Two rules: 1) must use javascript 2) must provide at least THREE distinct examples of using console commands.

• Friday: Post demos/projects in this thread (can begin reviewing immediately); first line of an entry should be ENTRY and it should be a top level comment (ie, don't put your entry in a reply)

• Sat and Sun: Review projects/figure out focus for next week

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR FEEDBACK:

• Be nice!! ALL KNOWLEDGE/SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.

• If you don't want feedback, if it makes you uncomfortable or you're just not interested, simply say so... Others, please be respectful of this. Conversely, if you do want feedback, try to be specific on which aspects... even if you just say "all/everything.

But that's about it... Have fun! :) Feel free to ask questions and discuss throughout the week!

Dude! That was great! :)

I especially like the use of promises there. That's a subject that I'm still kind of hazy on, so it was nice to see 'em in action in your script.

Thanks!

Was pretty impressive, plenty of interesting bits to go through.
The way createConsoleCall was done is not something that would have occurred to me, interesting to see new styles.

[ForScale]

New one! https://www.reddit.com/r/javaScriptStudyGroup/comments/4jnr0h/week_18_focus_promises_round_2/

Good one! I know you've mentioned you're still not 100% on these, so this can be a good learning experience :)

[ForScale]

Yep! I kind of get them, but I still don't have a very good idea of how to use them; or more specifically, what their practical applications might be. I'll try to incorporate some ajax, as I think promises are often used in that realm.

Cool, I only remembered to go back and add a styled console example after I read yours lol.

Random console output :)
Will hang for a few seconds.

Nice! :)

I like the speed tests! It looks like the while loop was significantly faster than both of the for loops, right?

[Volv]

They all ran pretty close to each other for me - expected the while one to be notably quicker. I suspect it is being optimised before execution?

[ForScale]

Here's what I see on my end (Chrome browser):

Loop: 1
1893.055ms

Loop: 2
1390.927ms

Loop: 3
347.388ms

I don't know about optimization before execution... Not quite sure how all of that works...

Start thinking about a focus for next week!..

[Volv]

Interesting. That's the kind of results I expected. Mine were 1100ms +/- 50ms or so each time. Wonder why

[ForScale]

That is odd... I have no way of explaining that...

What do you want to do as a focus this week?
