About

Tired of the world's polarization? Let's try to solve it by building a democratic forum for voting, debate, and discussion! This course will use a website that I'm building as a project and delve into everything you need to know to become a web developer. It will cover HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, React.js, and Firebase. You will also learn useful programming tools such as Git, Github, and command line along the way.

Tutor Qualifications

I have taken AP Computer Science Principles and AP CSA at school. I can code in C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript, and I am now learning Solidity, a Web3 programming language. I have also achieved Silver in USA Computing Olympiad.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

There is no compulsory attendance policy, but I do hope you enjoy my classes. If you have to miss a class but want to catch up, feel free to schedule another session with me.

About the Tutor

Hi! I am an international student in the United States. I am currently a high school junior who just loves to teach all I know about sciences and math! I am interested in computer science and can code in C++, Python, Java, and JavaScript (learning Solidity right now). I also have experience in both Deep Learning and Web development, and I am currently enrolled in Stanford University-Level Online Mathematics & Physics. I have also participated in competitive programming and am in the Platinum Division in USA Computing Olympiad. I am currently working on a website called the School of Athens, which is a democratic forum for voting, debate, and discussion aiming to solve the world’s polarization by offering multiple perspectives. If you’re interested in building a website and solving the world’s problems at the same time, join my series on how to become a web developer! If you have any questions about calculus, statistics, SAT, computer science, and biology, you're welcome to have a chat with me. 🍩 SUMaC 2023 ☀️ Summer of Protocols (Ethereum Foundation) Affiliate Researcher

Session 1

Orientation

Tue Mar 28, 2023, 9:00 PM

This session will give a roadmap for web development and an introduction to our project. We'll have an overview of the current landscape of the internet, from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (these are called the Big Three) to the blockchain, smart contracts, and Solidity. We'll also have a look at the basic tools a programmer use: the command line, VS Code, and Github.

Session 3

Computer Science

Tue Apr 4, 2023, 9:00 PM

Do you think your website is too ugly? Well, here's CSS to the rescue! In this session, we will cover CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheet. We will introduce the most powerful concepts in CSS for layouts: flexbox and grid. We will also take a look at Bootstrap, a library that would stop you from reinventing the wheels. After that, your website will look much better!

Session 4

Computer Science

Tue Apr 11, 2023, 9:00 PM

Now it's time to make your website move! Today we will cover a true programming language: JavaScript (HTML and CSS are not programming languages). I will introduce the basics of JS, including variables, if statements, loops, functions, and exports.

Session 7

Computer Science

Tue May 23, 2023, 8:00 PM

So how can JavaScript interact with HTML and CSS? The answer is DOM: the Document Object Model. DOM will enable us to manipulate HTML elements and attributes and respond to user actions, and it will be our topic today.

Session 8

Computer Science

Tue May 30, 2023, 8:00 PM

While DOM enables us to play around with HTML and CSS in JavaScript, React.js allows us to write HTML codes in JavaScript! Today we will introduce React.js, a JavaScript framework that allows us to divide a page into reusable and responsive components. We will introduce the React equivalence of variables and functions: states and hooks.
