Javascript Coding Club
Javascript and Web Technologies
Javascript is (and has been for a while) one of the most popular programming languages in the world!
Because of it's origins as a 'scripting language for web browsers', some people don't realize how much Javascript has changed over the years and how powerful and versatile it is:- Can be used to create Desktop Applications, Mobile Applications, Web Applications, as well as websites.
- It is used to power applications on servers (called the 'backend' of a website or web application) using node.js.
Javascript is often used with with HTML and CSS. These three technologies allow for what is known as separation of concerns:
- HTML: Defines the structure of the user-interface of a web page/application.
- CSS: Controls the look of the user-interface of a web page/application.
- Javascript: Defines the behaviour (coding) of a web page/application.
We will be doing a brief exploration of HTML/CSS/Javascript in the Javascript Coding Club.
Where and When?
TBD (Typically runs from the beginning of October to Christmas break).
