Bachelor Front-end Development
In March and April 2020 I followed a Bachelor in Front-end Development at Winc Academy, which focuses on HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript ES6+ and React JS.
During the course I’ve succesfully finished the following 6 assignments:
- Week 1: Color Toggle
- Week 2: Movie Search
- Week 3: Task List (with working backend)
- Week 4: Hangman Game
- Week 5: React Playlist
- Week 6: Student Dashboard
Color Toggle
A bit of code from the script.js file (JavaScript):
/**

const element = function(type, value){
switch(type){
case 'id':
return document.getElementById(value);
case 'class':
return document.getElementsByClassName(value);

case 'body':
return document.body;
}
return null;
};
