JavaScript Workshop
What is it?
JavaScript is a programming language that allows you to write dynamic websites. It is also used for writing web servers and writing games.
Web Programming
JavaScript is the only programming language
that is supported across all major browsers, which is why it remains one of the most widely used programming languages.
If you think of HTML giving a site structure, CSS giving it shiny things, then JavaScript makes the site dance.

jQuery is a super-popular library that provides utilities for DOM manipulation and AJAX calls.
jQuery is not its own language, and we will be focusing on JavaScript without libraries in this workshop
