Learn To Program JavaScript (in ten easy steps ) is suitable for beginner programmers. Step-by-step it explains how to write JavaScript code to run in a web browser on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

JavaScript is the language of the web. If you need to program web sites to run on desktop computers or mobile devices, you have to know JavaScript.

This course explains all you need to know in order to write JavaScript and make sense of other people’s JavaScript code. Every step of the way you can follow along with ready-to-run code in in short, easy-to-understand JavaScript programs.

You will begin by learning the core features of programming – variables, functions and data types. You will move on to learn about specific capabilities of JavaScript – how to use it to automate web pages, hide email addresses, swap stylesheets interactively; how to load XML data to create so-called AJAX applications, how to animate images and use some of the drawing capabilities of HTML5.

The sample projects are all provided ready for you to download, run and modify. The course also includes a course eBook, The Little Book Of JavaScript , that provides even more information on the topics being discussed.
