Class 6: Intro to JavaScript

Resources

Notes

  • JS is a lightweight, interpreted, or just-in-time compiled programming language with first-class functions.

  • Prototype-based, multi-paradigm, single-threaded, dynamic language supporting object-orientated, imperative, and functional programming styles.

  • Well known as the scripting language for Web pages.

  • Standards are the ECMAScript Language Specification.

  • JavaScript and Java are NOT the same.

  • Any text editor can be used. But we like VScode :)

  • Input/Output

    • How we interact with JS in the browse (Prompt/Alert)

  • 3 Major Parts Usually Refered to as JavaScript

      1. The language itself.
      1. The DOM-API - how the language can interact with various parts of a web page.
      1. API - (the server API) provided by Node.js or one of the other server-side systems.

Things I Would Like to Know More About

I clearly know NOTHING about the binary language that is the basis of all software.
