Javascript

Javascript is a nice programming language. It is particularly nice if you get it all by itself without all the html/DOM integration that is so often tangled up with it. Most people want to learn and use javascript to add to their web development skills, Which involves just adding some javascript to their html files. This means that the javascript interpeter built into a persons browser is running the javascript.

Another quite different angle on javascript is using "node.js". Ultimately this turns into server side javascript for most people. It is also a nice way to learn javascript without having to learn all about the browser DOM (document object model).

What most people want to do is to add javascript to their web development skills. I will assume that anybody reading this is already quite familiar with basic HTML and how to set up a static HTML online website.
