Javascript Course
JavaScript is a scripting language that powers millions of websites and interactive applications across the internet.
It's a dynamic language used for a wide range of tasks, such as adding interactivity to websites, incorporating static JS information, utilizing Ajax, updating content based on user activity, and more. JavaScript can also be used on the server side for fast communication with the database containing the information displayed on the site. These uses and many more will be comprehensively taught in the JavaScript course.
This programming language is text-based and is employed both on the client and server sides, allowing you to make web pages interactive. While HTML and CSS provide structure and style to web pages, JavaScript introduces interactive elements that engage users.
Common examples of JavaScript usage that you might encounter daily include the search box on Amazon, embedded news summary videos on The New York Times, or refreshing Twitter updates. Incorporating JavaScript enhances the user experience of a web page by transforming it from a static page to an interactive one. In summary, JavaScript adds behavior to web pages.
JavaScript primarily serves web-based applications and internet browsers. However, JavaScript is also utilized beyond the internet in software, servers, and embedded hardware controllers.
Here are some basic things for which JavaScript is used:
JavaScript frameworks are collections of pre-written JavaScript code libraries that provide developers with pre-built code for common programming features and tasks, such as building websites or web applications around them. Developers can use various JavaScript frameworks for the development and construction of web and mobile applications.
The JavaScript language can be divided into two parts:
1. Client-side — The user interface that the visitor sees on the website. With JavaScript, we add content, design elements, dynamic features, control the presentation, and more.
2. Server-side — The server interface. Responsible for communication with the database, using JavaScript and accompanying libraries, we communicate with the site's database efficiently, update information in the DB as needed, and more.
