Week 5 to 8 - Learning with MCR Codes

Image
My experience with  @MCRcodes   as a Quality Assurance Tester.  This is an evening part-time coding boot camp based in central Manchester which runs for 24 weeks, from February 2018 to July 2018. Week 5 (March 2018) - Just the end of last week, I have received feedback on my assignments with lots of pointers to becoming a better coder. One of the suggestion was to use an extension on my code editor ESLinter. In the first session, Joe helped me set this extension up and it is brilliant. Why haven't I installed this years ago? Lecture wise, we have moved on to lots of theory behind coding. This knowledge will make our employable stronger and a stronger knowledgeable programmer. Session 1 -  Object Oriented Programming &  SOLID Object Oriented Design Session 2 -  Test Doubles & jest.fn() Week 6 - Continued with last week Object-Oriented Programming exercise, finally understanding the benefits of creating a good code design.

Week 8 - Session 2 - HTML Forms

blog image source A web form, web form or HTML form on a web page allows a user to enter data that is sent to a server for processing. Forms can resemble paper or database forms because web users fill out the forms using checkboxes, radio buttons, or text fields. For example, forms can be used to enter shipping or credit card data to order a product or can be used to retrieve search results from a search engine. Forms can be made up of standard graphical user interface elements: text - a simple text box that allows input of a single line of text email - a type of text that requires a partially validated email address number - a type of text that requires a number password - characters typed in are invisible or replaced by symbols such as * radio - a radio button file - a file select control for uploading a file reset - tells the browser to restore the values to their initial values submit - tells the browser to take action on the form (typically to send it to a server) ...

Week 8 - Session 1 - JavaScript in the Browser

blog image source HTML document as a nested set of boxes. Tags such as <body> and </body> enclose other tags, which in turn contain other tags or text. There is an object, which we can interact with to find out things such as what HTML tag it represents and which boxes and text it contains. This representation is called the Document Object Model, or DOM for short. The global binding document gives us access to these objects. Its documentElement property refers to the object representing the <html> tag. Since every HTML document has a head and a body, it also has head and body properties, pointing at those elements. When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model of the page, which is an object oriented representation of an HTML document, that acts as an interface between JavaScript and the document itself and allows the creation of dynamic web pages: JavaScript can add, change, and remove all of the HTML elements and attributes in the page...
