An Introduction to JavaScript
JavaScript is a powerful programming language that is used at the front of most of the websites that you access. It makes an interactive website and adds functionality, creating a user experience that is much more satisfying. When you click on a button on a website or see something moving, there is a good chance that JavaScript has been used to make this happen.
JavaScript is more of a programming language as it uses traditional coding concepts such as variables and functions to improve the language's performance. Although learning is more difficult, JavaScript is a necessity to explore as it adds so much more to a website than just HTML and CSS static output.
You may think of HTML as the site's structure, the look and feel CSS, and JavaScript as a website's functionality and interactivity. On the front end of a website, all three are used, but for different purposes.
There is a wide range of enhancements that JavaScript can accomplish. Creating buttons and responses to clicks, quizzes and shapes and image carousel galleries are some of the basics you can start with. You can create animated 3D graphics and games and even fully functional database applications as your JavaScript skills progress!
Once you start exploring all that JavaScript has to offer, the possibilities are endless!
