#06 Learn JavaScript
Learn to code.
Why to learn javascript, and why for this course.
Because javascript is very popular, it’s friendly to beginners, and because is a good language to explain the programming concepts. Javascript is not the most powerful, but it is a very practical language to know, without installing anything on any platform, for you to start learning right away.
Javascript was invented to manipulate and work with web-pages. It is not to build desktop applications, like java, C-sharp, or Objective-C. Programs written in this languages, will run directly form the operating system, javascript won’t. And despite the name, java, and javascript are totally different languages and are not related.
