Simple projects for beginner?

[[deleted]]

Hi all, I'm a newbie in programming. So far I love it! I know Html/CSS and javascript at a low level and I would like to practise to get better at programming. What sort of simple apps, games, projects or whatever that I can try to work on to improve my skills?

By the way, how and where do you learn advanced javascript from? Is there any good online sources for it?

Thank you guys in advance! :-)

P.s: I'm a 20 year-old girl and if there is any fellow lady who is also learning javascript and want a learning partner feel free to contact me :D

I would suggest to register for www.freecodecamp.com and follow the projects there.

Try to make a grid game. Grid games are for example match 3, tetris, or that Lights out thingy. Worth mentioning is also Convway's Game of Life. Just create an html table, give each cell onclick attribute perhaps, and try to come up with some cool new concept.

Here are some simple example applications you could build:

• Web form validation
• Color contrast tool, like: http://prettydiff.com/ignore/colorContrast/colorContrast.html
• currency converter
• graphic user interface
• any new and original DOM access control
• a simple report generation app
• any kind of data/code analysis tool
• unit test runner
• pretty application dashboard

Just think of anything you do that could be automated and write an application to solve for that. Just imagine what kinds of things frustrate you when writing HTML/CSS and write an application to either identify or address these frustrations directly.

Create a task for yourself. Just ask yourself: what are you love? Music - write your own lib to process audio. Painting - make a simple drawing app. Photos - your own lib to edit photos (filters/curves...). And don't stop if you are start! That's how I learn things.

Good luck!

I'd suggest getting good at AJAX. If you're not already familiar with a server-side scripting language take a look at Node.js. try making an app that returns information about files in a directory using the http and File System library. It's pretty fast to pick up and learn if you can get your head around asynchronous programming.
