An introduction to JavaScript

JavaScript – the language that makes web pages interactive. If you have been building static HTML pages, JavaScript is what adds behaviour: form validation, animations, live updates, and the rest.

JavaScript started as a browser scripting language. It still runs in every browser, but with Node.js it also runs on servers and in command-line tools. That makes it one of the most widely used languages on the web.

This series walks through the basics: syntax, variables, functions, control flow, and how to debug when things go wrong. Each article builds on the last.
