Unit 1: JavaScript Introduction

Foundation concepts of JavaScript programming

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language that enables dynamic content on web pages.

// Your first JavaScript code console.log("Hello, World!");

JavaScript Engines

Understanding V8, SpiderMonkey, and other engines that execute JavaScript code.

Browser Engine Examples: • Chrome: V8 • Firefox: SpiderMonkey • Safari: JavaScriptCore

Development Environment

Setting up tools for JavaScript development including editors and debugging tools.

Recommended Tools: • VS Code • Chrome DevTools • Node.js • Browser Console

ECMAScript Standards

Learn about JavaScript standards and version history from ES5 to ES2024.

ES Timeline: • ES5 (2009) • ES6/ES2015 (2015) • ES2024 (Latest)

Unit 2: Variables & Data Types

Master JavaScript's dynamic typing system

Variable Declarations

Understanding var, let, and const declarations and their differences.

let name = "JavaScript"; const year = 2024; var oldStyle = "avoid this";

Primitive Data Types

Work with numbers, strings, booleans, null, undefined, symbols, and bigint.

let number = 42; let text = "Hello"; let isTrue = true; let empty = null;

Type Coercion

Understanding automatic type conversion in JavaScript operations.

"5" + 3 // "53" (string) "5" - 3 // 2 (number) true + 1 // 2 (number)

Variable Scope
