Overview of this book

If you're looking for a programming language to develop flexible and efficient apps, JavaScript is a great choice. However, while offering real benefits, the complexity of the entire JavaScript ecosystem can be overwhelming. This Workshop is a smarter way to learn JavaScript. It is specifically designed to cut through the noise and help build your JavaScript skills from scratch, while sparking your interest with engaging activities and clear explanations. Starting with explanations of JavaScript's fundamental programming concepts, this book will introduce the key tools, libraries and frameworks that programmers use in everyday development. You will then move on and see how to handle data, control the flow of information in an application, and create custom events. You'll explore the differences between client-side and server-side JavaScript, and expand your knowledge further by studying the different JavaScript development paradigms, including object-oriented and functional programming. By the end of this JavaScript book, you'll have the confidence and skills to tackle real-world JavaScript development problems that reflect the emerging requirements of the modern web.

Now that we've installed an IDE and established how to manage a working project folder within our code editor, it's time to look at how JavaScript code is written and ordered within such an environment. The first thing we need to do is create a set of files within the Project folder because we will write our JavaScript instructions in these. We will create a set of files within the working project folder and then bind them to one another.

Exercise 2.02: Creating Project Boilerplate

The most common environment where JavaScript runs is inside a web browser. For JavaScript to run within this environment, it must be included within a host HTML file in some way. Let's create a basic HTML file and a JavaScript file and instruct the web browser to load our JavaScript file within the HTML at runtime. Let's get started:

  1. Open the working project folder you created previously within your IDE (Visual Studio Code). No files...
