Whether you&rsquo;re taking your first steps in the world of coding or just brushing up on your skills, this series is designed to make JavaScript an approachable adventure.</p> <h1>What is JavaScript?</h1> <p>JavaScript is a powerful programming language that plays a pivotal role in web development. It empowers you to bring life to websites and build interactive web applications. Let&rsquo;s dive into the fundamental aspects of JavaScript syntax and how it operates.</p> <h1>What is programming / writing code anyways?</h1> <p>Imagine computer programming is like giving instructions to a very smart robot. You can tell the robot what to do by writing down special codes that it understands. These codes are like secret words that only the robot knows.</p> <p>Now, let&rsquo;s say you want the robot to make a sandwich. You&rsquo;d write a code that goes something like this:</p> <ol> <li>Take two slices of bread.</li> <li>Put some peanut butter on one slice.</li> <li>Put some jelly on the other slice.</li> <li>Stick the two slices of bread together.</li> <li>Ta-da! You have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!</li> </ol> <p>Computer programming is like that, but instead of making sandwiches, you can make the computer do all sorts of cool things, like playing games, showing pictures, and helping people with their work. It&rsquo;s like telling the robot how to do amazing tricks with words and numbers to make the computer do what you want. And the more you learn, the more amazing things you can make the computer do!</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@andrei_diaconu/it-beginner-series-javascript-introduction-1-f77242717d86">Read More</a></p>
