Programming By Stealth

Bart Busschots got the crazy idea that we should do this episode as a video so that he could solve the JavaScript challenges from PBS 19 real time and talk through it as he solved them. I figured it would be mean to drop a giant video into your feed, so this is actually just the audio which is cool too, but you can go watch the video on podfeet.com.

In this episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots takes us through the final stages of learning JavaScript within the playground. Now that we know about objects, we need to re-visit the arguments object present in every JavaScript function. We need to take a detailed look at the typeof operator, and we need to look at some built-in objects and functions JavaScript provides...

In this continuing series with Bart Busschots, we get a more detailed look at objects, and then we look at some standard functions and objects that are built into JavaScript. We also take a proper look at two operators we've seen before, typeof and instanceof. Bart's full written tutorial is available at bartbusschots.ie/....

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots takes our understanding of functions to the next level. The techniques we encounter today would be considered advanced techniques in most other languages, and you could spend years developing in Java and never encounter an anonymous function...

In this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart Busschots is back with Programming By Stealth episode 15 of x where he's going to teach us about JavaScript functions. he'll twist our brains a bit with recursive functions but it's a fun ride. And there's even a challenge at the end!

And as always, here's a link to Bart's terrific tutorial for the episode: bartbusschots.ie/...

We're back to Programming By Stealth with Bart Busschots where he explains how to create Arrays in Javascript and how to use "while" and "for" to create loops to access the information in Arrays. It's a little bit of a propeller beanie episode but we powered through till I got it!

And as always, here's a link to Bart's terrific tutorial for the episode: bartbusschots.ie/....

In this week's episode of the continuing series with Bart Busschots, he introduces the concept of conditionals. We'll learn whether boogers is true or false, how Javascript handles text strings and numbers in comparisons (what's bigger or smaller), how equality is really three different things, and we'll learn about logical operators like AND, OR and NOT to be used in conditional statements. Bart has updated the Javascript Playground he created so be sure to grab the new version...

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots dips our baby toe into Javascript. We learn the very basic building blocs, including how to make statements, how to make comments, three rules for variables, the difference between strings and numbers and what you can do with them, operators and concatenation...

Finally, after many months of making us wait, Bart has decided it's time to look at tables on web pages. We’ll start by describing the HTML markup for tables, and then look at how to style them with CSS. Full tutorial at bartbusschots.ie/...

Check out the latest installment of Programming By Stealth from Bart Busschots. He takes me through four new CSS methods to style lists, he teaches me more CSS selectors, and then we get to play with pseudo-classes. It's great fun and I think I actually understood most of it! As always with the Programming By Stealth series, it's highly recommended that you follow along with Bart's amazing tutorial here:
