Yes, it’s time for another Javascript Code Along video! In this summery special we draw a flower together.

Sound like fun? Jump in and follow along. It’s a great opportunity for you as a beginner and intermediate programmer to strengthen your coding skills.

Moreover it’s a fun activity that can help you practice. Bored of writing yet another todo-list app? Come and draw some flowers with me. Who knows where it will lead?

While it’s not a Javascript tutorial as such, this video shows you how to:

  • declare variables
  • draw shapes on the HTML canvas element
  • work with coordinate systems
  • work with the quadraticCurveTo() method to create curved shapes

The idea behind this code-along series is that practicing a little every day is a great way to improve your programming skills. Rather than coming up with your own projects you can code along with me. Then experiment and take the code to the next level.
