Javascript: a guide to learning the javascript programming language

Learn JavaScript

JavaScript is a dynamic computer programming language that is commonly used in web browsers to control the behavior of web pages and interact with users. It allows for asynchronous communication and can update parts of a web page or even replace the entire content of a web page. You’ll see JavaScript being used to display date and time information, perform animations on a web site, validate form input, suggest results as a user types into a search box, and more.

JavaScript is being used more and more...

Even though JavaScript is by far the most popular client side programming language in use today, it can and is used on the server side as well. Node.js, Meteor, Wakanda, CouchDB, and MongoDB are just a few examples of where you’ll find and be able to use JavaScript on the server side. The time you invest in learning JavaScript can be doubly rewarding as JavaScript keeps moving into more and more areas of computing.

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language which is used for web browsers. It primarily focuses on helping developers to interact with the web page as well as the web browser itself. JavaScript is loosely based on the Java programming language. Even though it has a similar programming methodology and syntax, it cannot be considered a light version of Java. It is truly its own language that finds its home in web browsers all over the world and enables a magnified user experience in web applications and on web sites alike.
