Week 1 - JavaScript Fundamentals & My First Mini Project

Source: Dev.to

Week 1 Overview

Week 1 is wrapped. I spent the past week working through JavaScript fundamentals — variables, data types, operators, and conditionals. The goal was to build a solid foundation before moving to more complex concepts.

What I Built

• Implemented a simple quiz that presents one question at a time.
• Added a second question after the first worked.
• Developed scoring logic and a grade display.

What I Figured Out

• How to use readline for command‑line input.
• Managing asynchronous code flow in a small project.
• The importance of tackling one small piece at a time instead of trying to solve everything at once.

The Real Challenge

Showing up and coding consistently led to real progress: I built something that works and deepened my understanding of the core concepts.

Resources That Helped

• javascript.info – clear explanations with practical examples.
• freeCodeCamp – interactive exercises that reinforced concepts.
• Good old Google when I got stuck.
