This is an outline of the JS 101 sessions, based on experience so far:
The main intention is to support and encourage each other; having a space reserved that is dedicated to learning JS. We might prepare little talks, but it is not primarily about teaching, rather self-directed learning.
Format:
The major part of each session is coding. We suggest certain topics (so far we have done the coding challenges in Eloquent JavaScript), but you can just as well bring your own project to work on; you can also work through Codecademy or similar. If you get stuck with any of these, feel free to ask others for help.
We have some time before and after the coding session where people
can present something they are working on.
We have also had "whiteboard sessions" where we have talked about
programming concepts, for example different ways to declare a
function.
Is it for you? That's difficult to tell in advance, of course. I would say there is an emphasis on JavaScript as a programming language, not so much moving quickly to libraries like jQuery to achieve all kinds of effects. All skill levels are welcome!
