jQuery Wack a Mole Game Exercise (Udemy.com)

great learning

Having more fun than watching a movie

nice for a free course, although I got a bit lost on the lecture when he started to write the makeGameBoard function, maybe its just me because I am still a beginner in JQuery although a more detailed explaination would have been much better.

Assuming you have some prior knowledge of javaScript and CSS then this course is golden as it will put a lot of perspective / context of what you know into some applied examples as the game builds up.

WARNING - If you are a total beginner with javaScript (mostly) and to some extend with HTML / CSS you will have some hard time following along with this course. Otherwise this course is definitely a fun way to engage and apply your theoretical knowledge of javaScript / HTML / CSS into a fun game.

Thumbs up for the author's presentation style, voice clarity and short modules for each component of the game as it builds up from scratch.

Now - you can let your imagination run wild as to what you can place instead of a "Mole" ...

0% filler.

It is exactly as advertised: within the specified time you'll have everything it claims. Everything is focused, at a natural pace, at getting your jQuery site up and running, with no extraneous content.

The instructor makes the code (that he is adding/changing) legible so you can see exactly where you should be, and includes the correct code at the end of each lesson. Each lesson is a manageable 4-9 minutes, and not overwhelming.

I would have enjoyed more explanation of the source code during the individual lectures where we were writing it, instead of having it all at the end. But overall, it was a good course. I was able to customize the game and have fun with it.
