The web is more than just text and images — it's interactive!
From responsive buttons to dynamic applications, JavaScript brings websites to life.

Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of web development, with tools like Node.js taking it beyond the browser.

In this Decode Javascript series, we'll explore JavaScript step by step, break down core concepts, and turn ideas into code. 💛

Follow the series and join me on this journey from JavaScript fundamentals to building real-world applications. Let's learn, code, and grow together! ✨

This isn’t a complete JavaScript guide, just beginner-level notes 🐣

What you will learn

Basics of javascript like variables, operators, functions etc that are needed as a basic knowledge for learning angular, react, express, node and other javascript libraries and frameworks

Tip

Even if you don't want to code and just learn, it is fine :)

No server setup is required—you can run simple JavaScript commands by following these steps.

Steps:

• Create a html file, say index.html
• Create a js file beside it, say script.js
• Connect the js file to the html file via script tag

     <script src="script.js"></script>

With the files set up, open the HTML file in your browser and move on to editing the JS file.

• Install VS code text editor on your system.
• Install the extension called Live server in VS code.
• Right click on index.html
• Select Open with live server
• Right click on the webpage in your browser
• Select Inspect
• Developer tools is opened
• Go to Console to find the output of your javascript commands
• Whenever you edit the js file and save it, immediately output is shown in the console.
