JAVASCRIPT PROGRAMMING FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS
JavaScript is one of the easiest languages to learn for beginners who do not necessarily have any programming background. That is the main assumption of this book-the reader has zero know-how about programming.
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.
After you have gained some experience using JavaScript, you will no longer just dip your proverbial toes in the world of web programming. You will learn a thing or two that may be quite amazing. Consider the possibility that you will be doing the following:
- Creating smartwatch applications
- Creating apps for your phone
- Create programs that will be used for micro-controllers
Create apps that will turn the lights on and off, check out who's knocking at the door, and respond automatically to what users are doing on your website.
Pretty cool, huh?
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
- Comments
- Operators
- Math (not fun, I know)
- Functions
- Expressions
- Conditionals
- Values
- And a lot of other fun and neat things
