Binary & Javascript - Heather Thacker

## Abstract:
Classical computing is based on binary, so let’s explore the basics. Let’s examine some of binary’s many hats in coding languages. We’ll look at the zero and the one as atomic measurements of computer memory and how we use binary theory in javascript logic. We’ll pick apart some examples of binary thought in CSS too as well as touch on the quantum unit of bits-- qubits!

Once we’ve covered some technical use-cases of binary, we’ll shift towards abstract deviations. I’ll wax and wane through dualism, dichotomies, linear/circular time, and nonbinary paradigms. The point here is to connect what is usually compartmentalized as intellectually separate worlds. I know you’re asking yourself if there will be data visualizations, and yes! I love a good graph, diagram, flowchart, and system model as we all do.

We’ll begin to look at complex questions... like how do we talk to our non-IT friends about code? Or how do we connect between differences? Or how can we broaden our perspective as humans wearing a technologist nametag?
