Website Design Updates, JavaScript some() Method & Additions to Regular Expressions
05th May 2024 - 11th May 2024
Let's look at what we worked on in BigBinary Academy during the week of 05th May 2024 to 11th May 2024.
JavaScript Course Update
This week, we have added the some() array method to our JavaScript course. Our learners end up using every() in a lot of situations. Sometimes, in these situations, some() would make more sense. They are both important methods. Check out the lesson and the challenges.
We also added new lessons in our Regular Expressions chapter. This is a large chapter and we are adding newer Regular Expressions lessons every week. This time, we have added lessons on what different metacharacters like “$”, “.”, “\", “|” can be used for. We have also added lessons on matching any word character and negating any character class. Take a look!
Changes in the Website Design
This week, we have also introduced new designs for our homepage and our courses page. The headings are all left-aligned and the hero section has been changed to express our key ideas upfront.
Our courses page has a cleaner, simpler look than the previous one. The course tiles are smaller, allowing for a quicker overview of all courses on a single screen. In the revamp, there is also a focus on maintaining a dark theme.
Student Highlight
Dibya Jyoti Routray is a final-year student from IGIT, Bhubaneshwar. Dibya Jyoti has been consistently covering BigBinary Academy for 6-8 hours every day. He has been working on our Learn JavaScript course. He has been consistent and we are happy to have him with us.

Community Feedback
Anurag Rai and Sanosh Jacob highlighted that in one of our exercises, we should make a slight change. In the exercise, we wanted the result to be an empty string, but in the solution, we expected a string with a single space character. This mismatch would confuse learners. We have made the change in the exercise.
Lovina Rachel identified a mistake in our code solution. It was a great catch! The original solution passed all tests, but Lovina identified an edge case that proved that the original solution wasn’t really correct. We have now updated the exercise.
Thanks everyone!
