Learning JavaScript, Part 1: What Even Is JavaScript, and Where Do We Put It

Starting a brand new series: Learning JavaScript. Same deal as always — no pretending to be an expert, just working through this together, one honest step at a time. In Part 1, before touching a single button or web page, we cover the basics every later video depends on: what JavaScript actually is, the two places we'll run our code (the browser console and a linked .js file), variables with let and const (and why we're skipping var), and the handful of primitive types JavaScript uses to store information. No DOM yet. No buttons. That's coming, once the language itself makes sense — because an event listener is a lot less mysterious once you know what a function actually is. Topics covered in this video: What JavaScript is and a quick honest history of where it came from Running JS in the browser console vs a linked script file Setting up index.html and script.js with Live Server Variables: let vs const, and why we're skipping var Primitive types: string, number, boolean, undefined, null The typeof operator, including one genuinely broken JavaScript quirk Next up: control flow — if, else, and how JavaScript makes decisions. 🎬 Watch the full playlist:    • Learning JavaScript, Part 1: What Even Is ...   #JavaScript #LearnToCode #WebDevelopment #CodingForBeginners #JavaScriptFromScratch
