JavaScript Modern Getting Started

Welcome to the world of JavaScript! This guide will introduce you to the core concepts to get you started.

Step 1: Introduction to JavaScript

JavaScript is a programming language that allows you to make web pages interactive.

It’s used for adding dynamic content, handling user events, and creating complex web applications.

Step 2: Variables and Data Types

Variables are used to store data. Common data types include numbers, strings, and booleans.

Let’s see some examples:


                        let name = "John Doe";
                        let age = 30;
                        let isStudent = true;
                    

Step 3: Operators

Operators allow you to perform operations on values.

Some common operators include: +, -, *, /, ==, !==, <, >

+ 5 3; // 8 = 10; != 5; // false

Step 4: Let's make a simple alert

Let's print some text to the browser using JavaScript.


                        alert("Hello, world!");
                    

Step 5: Control Flow - If Statements

Control flow lets you control the sequence of your program.

We can make sure something happens based on whether a condition is true or false.

if (age > 18) { console.log("You are an adult."); } else { console.log("You are a minor."); }
