Let’s Learn JavaScript • Lesson 5 • Object Primer

📅 July 31, 2017
“An object? What’s that?”

JavaScript uses object-oriented programming concepts (OOP) in order to make programming easier by mirroring real-world ideas.

While it is not necessary to use objects all of the time, it helps to understand what an object is because JavaScript views various parts of a web page and browser as objects.

Let’s Learn JavaScript • Lesson 4 • Planning a Script

📅 July 24, 2017
A script usually refers to a short program executed by an interpreter. Python, Perl, and JavaScript are examples of interpreted scripting languages. When we code client-side JavaScript, we write scripts that run in web browsers.

Scripts are intended to be lightweight and short in order to consume fewer system resources than full-fledged applications. This way, pages render faster in a web browser.

The purpose of using JavaScript in a web page is to make the page interactive either with the user directly or with a web server. Interactive pages are dynamic — page contents can change as the page is loaded or while the page is being viewed. JavaScript can access and modify page content and react to user input, such as button clicks or form entry. The result is a web page that feels more alive compared to static content that does not change.

No matter how simple or fancy a script might be, we need to plan before writing any code.

• Have you ever submitted a form only to find that some fields will filled incorrectly with red borders? That is JavaScript in action.

• Have you scrolled through a list of images and noticed new images appear? That is JavaScript trying to make life easier for you while conserving bandwidth.

• Have you ever thrown up your hands in anger as annoying popups littered your desktop with mind-jarring, blinking ads accompanied by new browser windows that expand to fullscreen in order to advertise an online survey? That is JavaScript being used to aggravate in hopes that you will part with your money.

JavaScript is a full-featured programming language that produces web pages whose content can change when certain conditions are met. If you have ever wanted to learn how to perform this mysterious magic in JavaScript, then here is the first lesson that introduces the background of this fun language.
