##Makers Academy Week 5: Javabuzz (Fizzbuzz in JavaScript) ####Summary of Activity
This was my first flurry into JavaScript as well as introducing a new testing framework: Jasmine.
This activity was broken down as follows:
- Creating a Project Directory locally, a new GitHub repo, and linking the two together.
- Installing Jasmine and associated files.
- Rewriting the SpecRunner.html to look for my source and spec files.
- Creating a spec folder, and a javabuzz_spec file.
- Writing simple tests, running Jasmine to see the failed test, then writing the production code to pass them in a seperate source directory.
- Commiting each completed version to Github via the command line.
####Lessons Learned
This was a familiar exercise in an unfamiliar programming language, and was a good way to start looking at JavaScript. Although initially I felt that JS was a little more 'prickly' than Ruby, there were many more similarities than differences, and the experience wasn't at all overwhelming.
Again, using Jasmine was a little different and something to get used to, but the similarities outweighed the differences from RSpec.
Overall, just a little exercise to break the ice with JavaScript.
