Intro to Javascript for Web Development

Take the first step towards coding an internet experience that users will love!

JavaScript is a programming language used primarily by Web browsers to create a dynamic and interactive experience for the user. Most of the functions and applications that make the Internet indispensable to modern life are coded in some form of JavaScript. It has become integral to the Internet experience as developers require increased interaction and complexity in their applications. Search engines, ecommerce, content management systems, responsive design, social media and phone apps would not be possible without skills in Javascript.
