Welcome to the world of JavaScript! This guide will help you understand the basics of JavaScript, a popular programming language used to create interactive web pages.
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a high-level, often just-in-time compiled language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. It is a dynamic scripting language with prototype-based object-orientation and first-class functions.
Features of JavaScript
- Client-Side Scripting: JavaScript runs on the user's browser, allowing for dynamic updates to web pages without reloading the page.
- Cross-Platform: JavaScript is supported by all major web browsers, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
- Rich Ecosystem: There are many frameworks and libraries available for JavaScript, such as React, Angular, and Vue.js, which simplify web development.
Getting Started
To get started with JavaScript, you need a text editor and a web browser. You can write your JavaScript code in a text editor and open it in a web browser to see the results.
Example Code
console.log("Hello, World!");
This code will print "Hello, World!" to the browser's console.
