+### Lecture Notes Week 2
+
+#### Before class
+Slack message students for things they'd like to review before diving into new topics
+
+## Reviewing (11-11:30am)
+Cover individual topics that students may still be stuck on from previous lectures and homework
+
+## JSON (11:30am-12pm)
+* Illustration on Google Maps. How do people from Sweden speak to people from Sri Lanka?
+* [Advice Slip](https://adviceslip.com/) and [API](https://api.adviceslip.com/#endpoint-random). If they have machines that run on the programming language RUST, how can we communicate with them? They serialize their data to JSON!
+* Douglass Crawford
+* What is JSON?
+ * Javscript Object Notation
+ * We are fortunate that it's familiar and easy to understand :)
+ * It is a STRING [PokeAPI](https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/squirtle/)
+ * Not all javascript objects are valid json
+* Coding exercise (lecture-exercise.js)
+ * JSON.parse
+* Serialization vs Deserialization
+ * JSON.stringify()
+ * Other formats
+ * protobufs
+ * XML
+ * GRPC?!
+* Cover homework question #3
+
+## Functions advanced (12-12:30pm)
+* Different ways functions can be made:
+ * function declaration vs expression
+ * arrow function
+ * Omitting return, parameter parenthesis
+* What's a method?
+* Pure function? or side effects?
+* Example: how does a program run this? (example w/ a function, call of that function, and a console log)
+ * Call stack (stack overflow)
+* Params
+ * Extra params
+ * Default params
+* Recursion (basic example)
+* Example function
+ * pigs example?
+ * countChar("kakkerlak", "k")? With DOM manipulation?
+* Simplicity of functions
+ * while loop from [Chapter 5](http://eloquentjavascript.net/05_higher_order.html)
+* Higher order functions
+ * repeat(n, action)
+ * greaterThan10
+
+## Array Manipulations
+## Map, Filter, Reduce (others? every, some, etc)

-## Step 3: ROVER
+## Step 3: JSON parsing
+
+1. Create an HTML file
+2. Insert a script tag that points to squirtle-sprites.js
+3. In squirtle-sprites.js, call fetchPokemonData() and convert the JSON string it returns to a javascript object so you can access its properties
+4. Display the sprite images (located in the parsed object) in the HTML page. You'll need to do some DOM manipulation kinda of stuff (maybe element.appendChild?)
+*Bonus Challenge*: Can you use an array method to loop over all sprites so you don't have to manually type each?
Finish up to chapter 7: JSON on [roverjs.com](http://roverjs.com/)!

### Map and Filter
- :dizzy: [Fun fun functional](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0zVEGEvSaeEd9hlmCXrk5yUyqUag-n84) :dizzy: Check the first 3-4 videos.
-### Code conventions

## Recommended readings
+These chapters from _Eloquent JavaScript_ are a bit advanced, but give in-depth explanations of the topics that will be discussed during the lecture. If you have the time, try giving these chapters a read.
-This chapter from _Eloquent JavaScript_ gives in-depth explanations of the topics that will be discussed during the lecture. Highly recommended (if time permits).
+- Chapter 3 - [Functions](https://eloquentjavascript.net/03_functions.html)
+- Chapter 4 - [Data Structures: Objects and Arrays](https://eloquentjavascript.net/04_data.html)
+- Chapter 5 [Higher-Order Functions](https://eloquentjavascript.net/05_higher_order.html)
-- Chapter 3 - [Functions](http://eloquentjavascript.net/03_functions.html)
-- Chapter 5 - [Higher-Order Functions](http://eloquentjavascript.net/05_higher_order.html)
+#### For fun
+ [The Weird History of JavaScript](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh6lK57Cuk4) shows just how haphazard the evolution of Javascript actually was.
