Javascript - 1


Javascript nuances for beginners who are seasoned in another programming language
These notes are for me who have worked with C/C++, Java, Python, Matlab in the past.


- its an interpreted dynamic programming language run by your web browsers
- HTML -> content; CSS -> style; javascript -> interactivity

- variable name follows similar rules except that a dollar sign($) is also allowed in a variable name
- there are certain reserved keywords you cannot use as variable name 
- there are also certain future reserved keywords which you should not use for future portability reasons
