Class 4 — JS311

What do you find challenging about coding?

I find JavaScript to be incredibly difficult. I am waiting for the “aha!” moment I hear so much about. It’s not clicking for me yet and I feel like I fall further behind with every class.

Talk about a project that disappointed you. What would you change?

Towers of Hanoi. It was difficult and frustrating. I am still struggling a lot with JS and I was disappointed in myself for not being able to figure it out.

I spent too much time on the towers and I struggled to keep up on my weekly homework.
