Below are my assignments for Module 3. I think I enjoyed python more than javascript- I don’t know how to phrase it, but it just seems more direct to me (if that means anything!). I don’t necessarily mind being frustrated by the small mistakes with big impacts (or at least big error messages – which […]

My Colab assignment is here and my Observable assignment is here. I enjoyed working with both of these platforms, as I’ve never used either before and they’re both useful tools for learning and practicing new programming languages without any barriers to entry – no need to download any software or do anything complex to just […]
Initially, I was most worried about Python, but I think both assignments turned out okay! I think my biggest difficulty when it comes to programming has always been trying to convince my brain to see and understand how the language itself works. Something about it- maybe because it requires users to be super specific in […]
I feel like such a noob to coding when I try to read the directions, then have to reread the directions, and then perform the functions; but I got through it! (I think). I like how in Observable I don’t have to press play every time I want to perform a function, unlike Colab. How […]
It’s like learning an entirely new language despite the fact that it was all in English (I think at least.) I did like being able to see results each time I made a change. When I was working in Atom, there were extra steps to see the effects of the changes I thought I was […]
This assignment gave me mixed feelings– I did the Intro to Observable first, it went so well. I did it in less than fifteen minutes, which is by far the shortest amount of time anything in this class has taken me, and I was feeling really good about that. Then came the Intro to Colab, […]
This week’s assignments were interesting, but also challenging. Like others, I found Observable much easier to use and understand than Colab. I found the way that Observable is setup made it easier to see if my answers were right or wrong and I had a better understanding of what I needed to change in order […]
I enjoyed Observable more than Colab. I found JavaScript a little easier because it seemed like there were less parentheses than Python, which is something I really struggled with when learning R. The difficulty I ran into with Observable was first figuring out the difference between numbers and strings, as I was really thrown off […]
