Mastering this powerful programming language will not only set you up for success as a developer, but allow you to create robust web applications for both client side and backend interactivity.

Through this JavaScript tutorial, you’ll explore JavaScript basics from the ground-up, learning not only important programming language syntax, but practical application of each coding principle. You’ll also explore how using JavaScript let’s you solve different sorts of problems, which can be used to form the basis of games, websites, mobile apps, Internet of Things apps, and more.
