Week 2

Introduction to JavaScript pt. 1

In Week 2, we’re taking our first look at JavaScript, which lets us add interactivity to our websites.

This week’s lecture covers an introduction to what JavaScript is and how we use it, as well as lots of new syntax and jargon, which will gradually make more sense over time.

You’ll learn about variables which allow our programs to keep track of values, and we’ll talk about different data types that we can put into these variables, as well as what we can do with them. Finally, you’ll also learn about functions, which allow us to group code together into an executable block.
