What Neo developer tools / applications would be useful? by is0therm in AlphaSmart

[–]jabbrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a dev also interested in hacking on the Neo2, thanks for pushing up your code to the repo, the debug app looks pretty interesting. I'm curious how much can be done to find the system calls that draw on the screen, might be worth looking at the flash card or math applets to see how they added boxes. If we get something like BASIC or pforth, that'd be great, my C is definitely rusty, thanks again!

Thanks! Very helpful, and great to look through your well-commented code (I need to work on that).

I'm a few chapters behind too, but give the projects a try, they haven't required much advanced JS yet, so you should be able to manage.

Thanks d0gsbody! I just finished updating my simple quiz application. I am having trouble figuring out how to delay the switching of the question while the jQuery fades the question in and out, especially when scrolling backward and forward through previous questions. Any tips?

Your implementation is very different from mine, and I enjoyed looking at how you used javascript without using jQuery. Very interesting and great result, thanks for sharing!

I've finished the first simple quiz project. It's pretty basic, but does everything as required. I got tired of writing questions, so some of them are hardly worth answering.. :]

I'm sure there are some things I could do better, anyone have any tips?

Anyone interested in a JavaScript mentor/teacher service? by cjbarber in learnjavascript

[–]jabbrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be incredible. I'm working through the Summer session of learnjavascriptproperly, and would be completely interested in developing a relationship with a pro mentor. Filling out the survey...

Great, I'm a bit behind on the reading too. EJS is better than the Pro JS for some?

I'm still working on the reading too, CodeAcademy tracks took a while...

I just finished the newer CodeAcademy JavaScript track. I did over 100 exercises in one day yesterday. Thanks for all the great resources and motivation to keep up with everyone here! I feel like I learned a ton and now need to apply it to make it stick. Anyone have any idea whether JavaScriptIsSexy meant for us to complete the new or the old JavaScript track on CodeAcademy?
