Welcome to the Javascript fun series!

You can find all of the code and project stages here:

https://github.com/chrisdixon161/fun-javascript-projects.com

For web design or development, there are 3 must-know technologies, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

The main aim of the Javascript fun series is to take your knowledge of these 3 (only a little is required!), and put them into practice by building a series of educational, yet fun projects that show you exactly how they work perfectly together. Working on projects and solving problems is a great way to learn.

The project we will build in this course will be a Javascript Music Player.

All the required tools are free to download, I will be using the following:

Visual Studio Code Text Editor: https://code.visualstudio.com

Chrome Web Browser: https://www.google.co.uk/chrome/browser

We begin by creating the user interface with HTML. Then we apply styling using CSS.

Then we add Javascript, this is where the real magic happens!

You will learn things such as:

Creating HTML interfaces
Styling with CSS
Incorporating Javascript and linking external files
Const and let
ES6 Arrow Functions
Event handlers
For / of loops
Manipulating the DOM
Performing calculations and storing in variables
Javascript arrays
Looping through arrays
Using Javascript to create HTML elements (createElement, createTextNode & appendChild)
HTML5 Audio Player default and custom settings
How to create custom elements to control the audio element
Setting the audio source dynamically
Checking the readyState of the audio player
Getting the value of slider inputs
Calculating the value of the HTML progress element
And much more!

So if you are looking to move on and put your skills into practice using real projects, I will see you in the class!
