New Canvas Chapter, the Chess Board Project & Welcoming Viswajyothi folks
30th June 2024 - 6th July 2024
Let's look at what we worked on in BigBinary Academy during the week of 30th June 2024 to 6th July 2024.
JavaScript Course Update
This week, we added introductory lessons in a new chapter on canvas in our JavaScript course. We will slowly expand on this in the coming weeks. We want to help learners build more visual stuff with JavaScript. The canvas chapter is our first step in this direction. Check it out!
We have also added a fresh new chess board project. This is a design project which asks learners to style a chess board. Learners are constrained to use CSS Grid in the project. This will provide good practice for CSS Grid. Take a look!
Welcoming folks from Viswajyothi College
After our initial call with them, 100+ folks from Viswajyothi College have shown interest in joining our workshop. We welcome all of them. These are third-year Computer Science students. They will be going through the BigBinary Academy for a couple of hours daily. We look forward to working with them.
Student Highlight
Aniket Kumar Singh is a third-year student from the Silicon Institute of Technology. Aniket has been consistently covering BigBinary Academy for one hour every day. He has been working on our Learn JavaScript course. He has been consistent and we are happy to have him with us.
You should check out his Battleship Project.
If you want to build the same project, here is a step-by-step explanation.
Community Feedback
In one of our lessons, we show an example in the JavaScript console for selecting elements using their class names. Aditya Bikram Jena showed us that we had missed adding some of the essential class names in the lesson. It was indeed the case! We have improved the lesson this week. Take a look!
Some of our learners also pointed out that our HTML DOM Manipulation chapters contained a few references to Node objects. Some time back, we had removed the chapters on Node, but the references to these chapters remained in some other lessons. We have now removed all references to Node.
Thanks everyone!
