Scrimba Podcast ποΈ
Meet Madison Kanna πΊπΈ! Sheβs a front-end developer and a creator of a coding book club. Sheβs also a college dropout, a master networker, and a former homeschooler. In this episode, youβll learn about her fascinating journey and get a lot of good, actionable advice!
Madison will teach you how to figure out what you are actually interested in and how to keep pursuing it. Youβll learn about her journey to becoming a developer and how being homeschooled helped her in the early days of her coding career.
Madison also shares how a single tweet turned being laid off into the best experience of her life!
Live-code Fun! π
Leanne and Michael are back! This week, they coded a number guessing game with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
They looked at:
πΎ Generating a random number from 1 to 100
πΎ Comparing the userβs input with the target number
πΎ Displaying a βtoo highβ or βtoo lowβ message
πΎ Win functionality and what happens next!
βWatch the replay here and try to code along!
Meme of the week π€‘
We have a tip to help Mac users with this - check out the Maccy clipboard manager - it has saved Leanne a lot of time (and hair tearing) since she downloaded it.
Wrap up πβ

Rajani saw these newbies in their yard! The expectation is that one will be a frontend dev, and the other will handle the backend!
Sounds like quite the dynamic duo! π¦
