Going Off-Platform with JavaScript

Learn what it takes to run JavaScript off of Codecademy’s site!

When you come to Codecademy to learn how to code, you’re able to run code from the start — and that’s because we’ve taken care of the language setup process for you! Up until now, you’ve been able to focus on learning JavaScript syntax rather than the configurations needed to run that language outside of our site.

However, as you gain more experience and get more comfortable as a developer, you’ll realize the need to branch out from using Codecademy to run your code. In the upcoming articles, you’ll learn different options for executing JavaScript code. You’ll see first-hand how to use the browser to run JavaScript, how to install JavaScript onto your computer, how to write JavaScript code, and how to execute JavaScript without the browser at all!
