JavaScript Basics: Learn These Concepts First (Re-release)

from HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers · host Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan

This is a re-release of a super popular episode from back in 2023 - happy holidays! Learning JavaScript from scratch can be as much about syntax as it is programming concepts, especially when it's your first language. Concepts like knowing how and why you need a place to store bits of data (variables), re-using code snippets instead of writing them repeatedly (functions), making decisions (conditional statements), and working with collections of data (arrays and looping) are all second nature to experienced developers. These concepts are the foundational building blocks that let you solve problems by thinking like a computer (sometimes this is called programmatic logic). In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss these key JavaScript basics including variables, functions, conditional statements, arrays, and looping.
