Personal Thoughts

This course is different from many other online resources is that Gordan teaches us the process of building an app. We start with listing out variables and basic functions. For example:

1
2
3
4
5
todos = []

function addTodos(things){
  todos.push(things)
}

Then we move all our functions and variables into one model object. Then Gordan shows us how to link the event controllers to our model functions. Lastly, generate the html elements(views) for the html.

We build like 8 different versions of todolist from very basic functionality to incorporating with the user interface.

This courses teach us how to format our code in MVC format instead of spaghetti code.
