Getting-Started-Javascript


Javascript is an interpreted language with a C like syntax. While many people brush the language off as nothing more than a browser scripting language, it actually supports many advanced concepts such as object-oriented-programing, recursion, lambda, and closures. It's a very approachable language for the beginner that quickly scales to be as powerful a tool as your skills allow.
This reference will cover the basic language constructs. This is not a beginner's guide to programming. This article focuses on bringing people who already know another programming language up to speed on Javascript methodology. Additionally, this is not an exhaustive language definition, it is a broad overview that will occasionally focus in on some more advanced concepts. It's here to get you started, other articles will focus on making you an expert.
Getting Started
To dive into Javascript all you need is a simple text-editor and a browser. In windows, you can use notepad under your accessories and Linux and mac users have a similar editor. Simply create a blank HTML page as such…

<html>
<head>
<title>Learning Javascript</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello World!
</body>
</html>

Save the file then in your browser type in the file name you just created to see the results.
Javascript is interpreted so any changes you make to this

Comments Javascript supports two types of comments. Double-slashes (//) tell javascript to ignore everything to the end of the line. You will see them used most often to describe what is happening on a particular line. var x=5; // Everything from the // to end of line is ignored(*) var thingamajig=123.45; // 2 times the price of a whatsit. "Blockquotes" begin a comment block with a slash-asterisk (/*) and Javascript will ignore everything from the start of the comment block until it encounters an asterisk-slash (*/). Blockquotes are useful for temporally disabling large areas of code, or describing the purpose of a function, or detailing the purpose and providing credits for the script itself.  function whirlymajig(jabberwocky) {    /* Here we take the jabberwocky and insert it in the gire-gimble, taking great care to observe the ipsum lorum!   For bor-rath-outgrabe!
