[gokatz]

Hey mates. Is this still an active project? I'm up for any help.

[ranimaniyan]

Hi @gokatz , this is an active project only. Thanks for here. You can select any one of the topic from the list above to contribute. Cheers

[DasarathanSampath]

Hi Iliankan,
I am going to translate "An Introduction to JavaScript". Please let me work on this article.

[iliakan]

Please check if it's not translated yet.

Is there anyone to take over this translation? Looks like @sbkrish dropped out.

[gokatz]

Yup. I have already started on the translation of the introduction part. I could use some help.

[iliakan]

Who has enough knowledge of JS to be a maintainer?

[DasarathanSampath]

I am not great at JS, but I can do some contributions.
If gokatz has taken already, please let me know, If I can start with the next topic "Manuals and specifications"

[gokatz]

I can help to maintain the repo @iliakan

sure mate @DasarathanSampath. you can start with the next modules

[iliakan]

@gokatz done!

[DasarathanSampath]

Iliankan, I just submitted a pull request for "Manuals and specifications".

Please check if everything is okay and I submitted it correctly.
If no one has taken "Code editors". please assign it to me.

[gokatz]

Sure you can take the next one up. However, I would suggest waiting until your first PR gets merged to see the perspective of different people. That might help to improve your next translation. What's your take?

[DasarathanSampath]

I agree with you. I will wait for other's comments.

[sbkrish]

Please check if it's not translated yet.

Is there anyone to take over this translation? Looks like @sbkrish dropped out.

Not like that @iliakan . As I am waiting for the co maintainers past these weeks_

[DasarathanSampath]

Please assign me the next one "Code editors", if it is not taken by someone.

[gokatz]

Assigned "Code editors" to @DasarathanSampath

[sbkrish]

@gokatz " Manuals and specifications " PR has been reviewed and merged with Master branch

[gokatz]

cool mate 🙂

[sbkrish]

I would like to translate "Developer Console"

[DasarathanSampath]

@gokatz

I just did a new pull request for "Code Editors". Please review and revert.
Please assign me the next chapter "Hello, world!"

[DasarathanSampath]

@gokatz @iliakan

I am working on "Hello, World". And need more clarity for few of the lines, which I could not understand clearly. Please explain... (These lines are creating some confusions to me)

---

Comments before and after scripts. : In really ancient books and guides, you may find comments inside <script> tags, like this:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
    ...
//--></script>

This trick isn't used in modern JavaScript. These comments hide JavaScript code from old browsers that didn't know how to process the <script> tag. Since browsers released in the last 15 years don't have this issue, this kind of comment can help you identify really old code.

---

[iliakan]

What isn't clear here? (The : in the first line looks odd though)

[sbkrish]

Hi @DasarathanSampath ,
<!-- some tags here -->
This comment is belongs to HTML. If you find any comment like that inside the <script> tag, assume that it is a old code. You can find the explanation about comments here

[DasarathanSampath]

What I understood from the above lines are

Old Javascript will use these tags to specify the comments
But this trick is not used in modern Javascript.
This kind of comment section ( is used to identify the old codes.
But when I read the below statement, it looks, it is on the other way around... Correct me If I am wrong

"These comments hide JavaScript code from old browsers that didn't know how to process the <script> tag. Since browsers released in the last 15 years don't have this issue"

[iliakan]

I think maybe we can remove this section altogether.

I haven't seen such comments in scripts for a really long time.

[iliakan]

Also please, if you have any questions, create separate issues.

Here, a direct link: https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/ta.javascript.info/issues/new =)

[DasarathanSampath]

Please assign me the next lesson "Code structure", If no one has taken that.

[sbkrish]

Code Structure assigned to you @DasarathanSampath

[AjeshMadhavan]

Hi, let me start work on this topic The modern mode, "use strict"
