JavaScript Novice

introducing the javascript language

Chapter 1 - "Getting Started":
In this chapter, we learn about different browsers and their debuggers as well as their add-ons.

Chapter 2: "Variables & Types"
Here we learn that variables are (like in math) are places to keep the unknown. As the programmer, we are able to place those variables in & get the value that we assigned. They are basically our way of getting knowledge into our programs.

Chapter 3: "Objects, Arrays & More"
In this chapter we learn about objects & arrays & how they are both different ways to store data. I also learned that 'whitespace' is ignored by JavaScript.

Chapter 4: "Operations & Control Structures"
You use === to know whether or not something is the same as something else. Another helpful tip is for if you're trying to do what is known as "calling out", where you type the name of what it is you are looking for followed by the parenthesis and the semi colon and the line.

Chapter 5: "Iterating with Loops"
This chapter teaches us how you can loop variables even if you don't know how many there are. Also, I learned that modern browsers have made it easier for loops to not happen as badly and as frequently as they used to crash computers completely.

Chapter 6: "Functions"
We learn how to take data & process it using a function.
