Introduction to Javascript

Now that you have your portfolios in order (at least I am hoping), it is time to go into something new. Yay! I am sure you are so excited. We are going to be discussing Javascript. A few things you should know as we jump into Javascript (it's worth mentioning, before we get to far into a Javascript discussion, you should read info on the HTML DOM).

1. JavaScript was designed to add interactivity to HTML pages


2. JavaScript is a scripting language


3. A scripting language is a lightweight programming language


4. JavaScript is usually embedded directly into HTML pages


5. JavaScript is an interpreted language (means that scripts execute without preliminary compilation)


6. Everyone can use JavaScript without purchasing a license

Tomorrow in class we will discuss in detail, how to use Javascript. For more information, visit w3schools Javascript info. See you tomorrow at "Pack the Place"!
