Scrimba's JavaScriptmas
Published: 2020-12-22 14:17:33

I am here to tell you about [Scrimba](https://scrimba.com/), and [#JavaScriptmas](https://scrimba.com/learn/adventcalendar), and how I got here.
JavaScriptmas is an amazingly festive way for JavaScript programmers to practise their skills, win prizes and feel the holiday spirit at the same time, thought up by Scrimba, a creative learning platform.

I found Scrimba due to this crazy year. Unfortunately, I got furloughed from my last job as they had to downsize, so I decided to take some courses to learn all about frontend programming. That's when I found the fantastic Scrimba; it enticed me in with a free [JavaScript course](https://scrimba.com/learn/introtojavascript). While I was taking their course, they were just finalizing their awesome new [Frontend Developer Career Path](https://scrimba.com/learn/frontend), which I just had to take. Since then, I have been on most days! They utilize interactive screen casts - called scrims - that allow you to play with the code while you are learning a new topic. They also strongly encourage collaboration and learning, and helping each other on their [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/684009642984341525/782207276013977600) channel. #JavaScriptmas gave me the motivation to practise coding every day, and the imagination to create more of my own projects.

Below are my solutions to the #JavaScriptmas challenges; there are many ways to solve these challenges, this is how I chose to solve them at the time.
