Unit 1: JavaScript Fundamentals

Learn JavaScript basics, syntax, and core programming concepts.

What is JavaScript?

Understand JavaScript as a dynamic programming language for web development.

Dynamic Language Interpreted Multi-paradigm ECMAScript
JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic, interpreted programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. It's a multi-paradigm language supporting event-driven, functional, and imperative programming styles.
JavaScript Features
Dynamic typing
First-class functions
Prototype-based OOP
Event-driven
Cross-platform
// JavaScript basics
console.log('Hello, JavaScript!');

// Variables and data types
let message = 'Welcome to JS';
