JavaScript is a programming language. Before learning JavaScript, we advise you to learn the basics of HTML and CSS. Because, as you will see, HTML, CSS and JavaScript always work together at the same time. These three languages together are known as the frontend languages and each of them has a role in the creation of a web page.
What does JavaScript do?
JavaScript is responsible for the operation of your website. That means that JavaScript brings the different HTML elements and CSS styles on the web to life. Watch this video to see some examples of JavaScript:
If you're thinking about learning JavaScript, you'll quickly see that there are many popular JavaScript frameworks (i.e. public code that can help you succeed). Frameworks can be a very cool thing once you start learning! But at first, they can be overwhelming.
Let's take a look at some real JavaScript code. Next, we're going to talk about JavaScript frameworks, and finally, I'm going to share some tips on how to learn JavaScript.
Should you avoid JavaScript frameworks?
Frameworks are essentially free code that you can use to make your website work quickly. Some of the most popular JavaScript frameworks are jQuery, React and AngularJS. If you see "JS" in the name of a framework, it means that it is made with JavaScript.
When you start, you will ask yourself "should I start with JavaScript or a JavaScript framework? This is a never-ending debate.
At One Month, we like to think that we do a bit of both. Starting with a framework is going to be very nice, because it will give you a good overview and you will think "it's working". But working with JavaScript itself you'll feel like "okay, good. I'm learning the skeleton that holds it all together". It makes sense. There really isn't a right and wrong choice. For example, you can learn jQuery first, or start with JavaScript. After all, just get in there and start doing things.
