To Do

• Easier quiz
• More basic object exercises

  Few more non-array exercises

• More basic array exercises
• Just use fat arrow functions?
• Notes about passing variables to functions

  Make it clear that the name is not important

• Diagrams of concepts
  • Order of execution
  • Functions: parameters/arguments
  • Iterator Methods
  • Loops
• Flowcharts?
  • What type to use
  • Writing a function
• console.log() notes in Node section (Chapter 1)
• String.prototype.trim()
• Math.random()
• Some switch exercises
• Talk about using pseudo-code to work through questions - comments as you go
• Objects: Computed property names
• More test cases
  • Less [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • More negative numbers
• Rename array iterator functions so can reuse functions from Tuesday

  Encourage reuse of existing functions

  • Update answers to use composition
• Move concatenation and issues with numbers strings to after variables?

Doing

Done

• Some notes about programming practice: CodeWars, Exercism, Eloquent JavaScript, etc.
• Split into more chapters
• Bit more about using Node
• Something about reading Node errors
• Methods often don't take arguments
• Talk about pure functions
• Talk about default initial value for reducers

  Look into whether it skips first iteration if default not supplied

  • Initial vs default initial value
• Add more information about array iterator methods using a function
• Add example of accessing nested object blah.thing.stuff
• Remove references to Mark
• Add infobox about using map, filter, and reduce with arrays of objects
• Talk about object instances and object literals
• Glossary
• Add more about nested array/object spread copying to notes
• Rename exercise files to 'README.md'
• => in objects doesn't have access to this
• Fewer for loop exercises in the quiz
• Array.prototype.splice - for removing elements from an array
• Include [].reverse() somewhere
• Move array max exercise further down
• Use IIFEs for earlier exercises

  Establish that you can pass variables to functions earlier on

• Move map, filter, reduce with object arrays to Day 4 morning
