This is an incredibly versatile language. It can take a static HTML & CSS Webpage and bring it to life. It’s used to make animations, parallaxes, music players, progress bars, popups, web games, and a lot more. You’ll read later that it can also be used as a backend for a website. So if you do learn it, it’s a worthy investment.
Javascript is incredibly different than the last two languages you learned. HTML and CSS are the backbone of the internet, but it’s been heavily debated whether they’re real programming languages. The reason it’s argued is because they’re used for markup and design – and don’t necessarily follow the Computer Science logic that all other languages follow. They can’t really automate anything or be that dynamic. That’s not to take away from their extreme importance.
Javascript will be your first introduction to programming logic. You’ll learn topics like loops, conditional statements, variables. Don’t worry if you don’t know what these are now, that’s what the resources button are for.
