My three research topics for this year of STAT is ...
1. JavaScript (Game development)
2. PC construction
3. Game design
Java Script:
Java script is a popular coding language used by many coders to enhance and smoothen websites, games, and much more.
Why I picked Java
I took a course on java script freshman year and I immediately
fell in love with it. I was able to understand the concepts and use the information I learned to make many cool things. After freshman year I haven't really gotten a chance to come back to it and now I have the opportunity to do so.
The web page triad:
Java is part of the web page triad, which is the three components that make up a web page (HTML, CSS, and JAVASCRIPT). While the other two languages are used as the main backbone of the web page java script is used to add dynamic and make most of the components in the page programmable.
How Javascript came to be:
Javascript developed in 1995 when programmers realized that they needed a language to help spruce up web pages. Since Java was the hot language at the time they developed javascript with a close syntax to java.
Where I can learn Java:
I learned this language first at code.org and I found that really helpful and If I do end up picking this topic I think that it would be a great platform to continue learning and exploring JavaScript.
PC construction
A PC can be really costly to buy and are often out of many peoples budget. The alternative is to build a pc which can cost much less and you can learn a valuable skill that can come in handy in the later years o your life.
