Introduction
First, let me congratulate you for taking the time to read my guide to JavaScript. My intention is to guide you through the inner workings of JavaScript. I want you to learn exactly what JavaScript is, how it all works and how all the pieces fit together as well as going into some detail about some of the HTML elements that go together with JavaScript.
JavaScript is an incredibly light language and is easy to learn as well as being dynamic. Brendan Eich designed it in 1995 when he worked for Netscape, the owner of the very first web browser. JavaScript is a web-based programming language that is used for the creation of websites and web pages using other components like Java applets, images and plugins. JavaScript is an open source language and cross-platform and you will find that all the major websites use it as their core programming language.
To help you through, I have included lots of examples for you try yourself – this is the best way to learn something and I hope that it helps you too. There are also several exercises dotted throughout the book, just examples that you can have a go at. These are designed to compound what you have learned in a specific section and I haven't provided any answers for these. They are merely a way for you to practice and I would urge that you go over them over and again until you are confident. These are not just designed to test your knowledge of the subject but also to test whether you have learned the correct way to write the code. And, at the very end of the book, you will find a mock JavaScript test for you to try, complete with answers.
If you are ready to start learning JavaScript, let’s go.

Section 1: Setting Up Your Environment
Before you can even begin to write any JavaScript, you are going to need a couple of things – a text editor and a decent web browser that contains tools for web development. For this, we are going to use the Chrome browser and look at a text editor called Brackets.
Chrome
One of the most important things about learning JavaScript is learning the console and that includes how to set it up. Chrome has its own built-in console and this is perfect for inputting your scripts and code – even better, it’s free. This is how you get it:
Open the web browser you are using and type in www.google.com/Chrome
Download the Chrome browser. From here, it is your choice as to whether you keep Chrome as your primary browser or you just use it for doing your JavaScript. Follow all the on-screen instructions to download and install Chrome browser
Open the Chrome browser and look for an Options circle in the top right corner – click it and you will see some more options
Select More Tools and then Developer Tools
Now select Console and the console pad will load. You should see the symbol > on it – this is your command prompt and it is where all your code will be input.
Now you can begin to use the console in Chrome so take the time out to explore it; learn what it is all about and how to use it.
Shortcut
There is a shortcut to open your console:
● Download and install Chrome
● In the address bar, type about: blank and a blank page will load
Getting Started
Now that you
