About myself:

Since childhood, I wanted to become a programmer, but I was very disappointed when I entered university because the education turned out to be very different from what I had imagined. I thought they would teach us to code like in the movies and books, but in reality, the curriculum was not much different from what we had in school. So I quickly gave it up and started drifting from one field to another, far from programming.

Later on, I launched several of my own websites, downloading free templates and customizing them to my liking using the F12 tools in Google Chrome and by editing the style files. I enjoyed it and became somewhat interested in web development. Of course, it was more of a hobby—whenever I had some free time, I would try to learn a bit. I liked JavaScript and everything related to it. I mainly chose it because it’s closely tied to the web, and it was interesting. Besides, when you build something, you can immediately see the result in the browser: I changed the color of a button, cool! — instant dopamine.

Most of my attention was on JavaScript itself, and I usually looked for layouts online and modified them for my needs. I partially completed a couple of small courses on Udemy and also did self-learning through documentation and YouTube. After I got a bit familiar with JavaScript, I moved on to React.

All my self-learning was stretched over years: I would code for a few weeks, then take breaks due to different circumstances, then come back again, and so on in cycles. Now I’ve decided that I want to take this more seriously and approach the learning process in a more structured way. RS School seems very appealing in this regard.

Code example:

In this kata you are required to, given a string, replace every letter with its position in the alphabet. If anything in the text isn’t a letter, ignore it and don’t return it. “a” = 1, “b” = 2, etc.

Example:
Input = "The sunset sets at twelve o' clock." 
Output = "20 8 5 19 21 14 19 5 20 19 5 20 19 1 20 20 23 5 12 22 5 15 3 12 15 3 11"

function alphabetPosition(text) {
   return text
    .toLowerCase()
    .split('')
    .map(e => {
      return 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.indexOf(e) + 1
    })
    .filter(e => e > 0)
    .join(' ')
}
