All language subtitles for 6. How To Succeed In The Course

Welcome back.

I've been talking a lot, and I know you want to get started.

So I wanted to just leave you with a few pieces of advice.

How do you get the most out of the course?

The way we've structured the course is that you're going to be able to code along with us, build projects

with us so that you can learn and practice along the way.

Now, because everybody comes to this course with different sets of skills, different set of experiences,

we've made it friendly to all kinds of individuals, whether you're new to note or you're an experienced

no developer.

So what I recommend is that before we dive into the installation videos where we start downloading node

and then start writing node code, I want you to jump over to the appendix section where we talk about

how JavaScript works.

If you're not familiar with how JavaScript works.

We do a deep dive in the appendix at the bottom of the course so that you have a good idea of what things

like interpreters are.

How JavaScript uses call stacks cuz how JavaScript is single threaded, what an event loop is.

Now we do cover those things throughout the course as well, but it's always good to have a good, solid

foundation of how JavaScript works before we dive into note.

So if that is you, jump to those videos after this.

Otherwise, you can keep going with the course.

Now the other thing is, downloading node is notoriously difficult.

Well, not difficult, but you may encounter some issues.

Now we're always here to help you so you can always jump on our discord if you have issues downloading

node.

But in order to succeed in the course, well, you need to have node installed on your computer, which

we're going to go through now.

If you're watching this course and you already have node installed, then you can skip those videos

as they're optional.

You don't need to know how to install node.

There's also a third option.

The third option is something called Ripple.

And if you go to this website, you will have to create an account.

But don't worry, it's free and you can create new ripples, which are kind of like online code editors

so that you don't need to worry about any sort of installation.

And here you can select the language you want to code it.

In our case, we can just select Node.js so that it creates the Node.js runtime and click on Create

Ripple and you'll have a Node.js environment for you decoding.

So if you prefer to watch the course like this without installing anything, that's an option for you

as well, and you can create files in here.

You can add folders and you just type your JavaScript code right in here and then you click Run and

it's going to run the code for you.

All right.

There you have it.

I highly recommend that you follow the videos in order and any time we need to suggest something, any

Appendix S. or bonus material, we'll make sure to tell you when we suggest that you visit those lectures.

For now, you can keep going with a course in order.

Oh, and one last thing.

Some of you may be wondering about something.

Remember this diagram?

Remember our friend, Ryan Doll, who in 2009 released A..

Look how cute he was.

Well, this timeline is incomplete.

As a matter of fact, in 2019, something new happened.

That's Randall with a new haircut, a new T-shirt and no glasses.

He presented something in 2019 called Dino.

But you know what?

That's for the end of the course.

We don't need to worry about it, but don't worry, we'll cover a little bit of dino as well at the

end.

But for now, go away.

Dino, we're focusing on note.

I'll see you in the next one.

Bye bye.
