Interactive Animations 10 Things You Can Build with JavaScript - Grand Circus - Tech Training According to a recent survey conducted by Stack Overflow, JavaScript is the most popular language on earth.

Projects Can Sometimes Be the Worst Way to Learn JavaScript This article was peer reviewed by Tim Severien and Chris Perry. Thanks to all of SitePoint’s peer reviewers for making SitePoint content the best it can be! One of the most surprisingly dangerous pieces of advice to JavaScript learners is to “just do projects.” To be 100% clear, projects are often a great way to learn any coding language. However, problems arise when people attempt certain projects before they know enough of the basics to judge what’s reasonable. This topic is important, because attempting a project too early is one of the most common reasons people give up on JavaScript entirely.

Here's the list of requirements I had going into this: Must interconnect.
