Javascript Fun: Build a Photo Effects App!

Welcome to the Javascript fun series!

You can find all of the code, resources, and project stages here:

For web design or development, there are 3 must-know technologies, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

The main aim of the Javascript fun series is to take your knowledge of these 3 (only a little is required!), and put them into practice by building a series of educational, yet fun projects that show you exactly how they work perfectly together. Working on projects and solving problems is a great way to learn.

The project we will build in this course will be a Javascript Photo Editing App.

All the required tools are free to download, I will be using the following:

Visual Studio Code Text Editor: https://code.visualstudio.com

Chrome Web Browser: https://www.google.co.uk/chrome/browser

We begin by creating the user interface with HTML. Then we apply styling using CSS.

Then we add Javascript, this is where the real magic happens!

You will learn things such as:

• Creating HTML interfaces
• Styling with CSS
• Incorporating Javascript and linking external files
• Const and let
• ES6 Arrow Functions
• Event handlers
• Manipulating the DOM
• Drawing to the canvas
• Loops
• Using the canvas 2d context
• Working with file readers
• Uploading images
• How pixels are structured
• Looping through pixel data
• Manipulating and replacing pixels on the canvas
• Downloading Images
• And much more!

So if you are looking to move on and put your skills into practice using real projects, I look forward to seeing you in class!
