We'll be covering all the basics, and certainly enough to get you up and running making your own JavaScript programs for your websites

What is JavaScript? Video #2

In this lesson we'll take a quick look at what JavaScript actually is, and how it differs from other programming languages.

JavaScript is what's known as a client-side language, meaning it runs on your computer and not on a web server. There are exceptions to this (e.g. with Node.js) but this is generally the case. Other programming languages such as PHP, run on the server and are called server side languages.

JavaScript is also a scripting language. This essentially means it is limited in functionality - but this is the way it was made, intentionally! It's primary purpose is to add functionality and interactivity to websites, such as banner sliders, zoom-galleries, drag and drop etc

Hello World! in JavaScript - Video #3

It's customary that when you learn a new programming language, that the first program you write in that language is the timeless 'Hello, World!' classic! So that's exactly what we'll be doing in this lesson.

No need to pay attention to the details here, I just want to show you how easy it is to implement JavaScript in your web pages.

Where to put your JS - Video #4

Google Chrome Developer Tools - Video #5

So in this JavaScript tutorial I want to show you the basics of the Google Chrome developer tools that ship freely with Google Chrome. The developer tools are a wicked tool for debugging not only JavaScript, but also HTML & CSS as well as running other site diagnostics such as site speed & performance. I'm not gonna dig too deeply into all of those right now, but I just want to highlight a few areas of the developer tools that come in handy when learning JavaScript.

JavaScript Variables -Video #7

Hey ninjas. In today's JavaScript tutorial, we'll be taking a look at what variables are from a birds eye view. Variables are at the heart of most programming languages, and JavaScript is no different in that respect.

Variables area a way of storing information (such as the pixel position of an element on a page, or the customer name, or email) and can be of any of the main JavaScript types (integers, strings, boolean values etc - we'll cover these later).

We need to use variables in our JS programs, so that we can refer to different pieces of varying information for different parts of our scripts to run! For example, an image slider needs to store how many images are in the slider.
