JavaScript for Absolute Beginners

JAVASCRIPT PROGRAMMING FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS

So, why learn JavaScript?

Well, believe it or not, you see it every day. It’s there when you look at websites on your laptop’s browser. You also experience it when you use your phone. When you interact with the web, you are most likely looking at JavaScript at work. When you use applications that run on the internet, you’re already experiencing this programming language first-hand.

If your job happens to involve something about the server-side of any website—maybe you’re posting blogs, updating items on your company’s online store, or it can be anything that you do on your company’s website, then that means you may already be fiddling with a few things JavaScript style.

Remember that this book will teach you the very basic rudiments of JavaScript. Well, we’ll throw in a few advanced topics to make things fun and interesting. You will be learning by practice, which means we will include plenty of programming exercises that will help you get the hang of JavaScript.

You will learn things like:

• JavaScript syntax rules
• Variables

• Operators
• Math (not fun, I know)
• Functions
• Expressions

• Values
• And a lot of other fun and neat things
