JavaScript Introduction

JavaScript Introduction

What JavaScript is and why we would want to use it there are a few things that JavaScript is used for that we're going to be talking about The first one is for front-end web development so JavaScript powers almost all of the internet and it allows us to have function allottee like dragging and dropping cool things happening when we click something all kinds of stuff like that so for example here's a website Google Drive all the capabilities such as dragging and dropping and being able to have things pop up on the screen with options real nice and pretty this is all done with JavaScript that's one of the primary uses the other one is for back-end development and this is done with Note.Js so Note.Js is away to make a website functional so javascript on the backend can access the the database can manipulate data and send that back to the front-end through an API once you have a pretty good understanding of the JavaScript basics you can pick up JavaScript frameworks so frameworks allow us to build more scalable web applications some of the common ones are reacting view angular.

What these do is basically simplify the web development process well honestly when you first start using them it's kind of a pain in the butt but as you get going and start understanding how they work can help build more large-scale applications these frameworks can even be used to make mobile applications, not just a web app that you access through a browser embedded in an application but we're talking native applications so for. For example, there's something called react-native so here's reacted native and you can use it to build applications that run natively on iOS and Android basically what I want to show you guys here is that javascript is one programming language but we can use it to build the front end of a website we can build back-end applications and we can even make mobile applications with JavaScript so by learning one language you're able to do a lot of different things if you're coming from a different the language you might think you know JavaScript because the syntax is very similar to something you might see in some of the other languages like C sharp or Java but let me tell you upfront javascript is not the same thing and it's fundamentally different in the way it works in how the code runs these are all the things we're going to talk about through this series because I want to make sure you guys have a real good understanding of how the programming language works some other things. 

Thank you guys for being with me till the end of the blog. See you in the next blog stay blessed.

JazakALLAH!
