Why JavaScript?
StackOverflow Developer Survey 2020 Most Popular Technologies
Easy to get started Why JavaScript? It’s everywhere! Browsers Server-side
Desktop
The JavaScript Language Part One
Values, types, and operators
Values, types, and operators Booleans true false
Values, types, and operators Numbers 1 2 3 4.5 5.6
1.2 2.3 3.4 4.5 NaN
"this is also a string" Values, types, and operators Strings
'this is a string' `and this is also a string`
Values, types, and operators Empty Values null undefined
Values, types, and operators Unary Operators ! - typeof get
a value’s type negate logically negate a number
Values, types, and operators Unary Operators !true -100 typeof 'hello'
= false = 'string'
Values, types, and operators Binary Operators / * + addition,
division multiplication - subtraction string concatenation % modulo ** exponent
Values, types, and operators Binary Operators 5 ** 2 5
- 4 * 3 + 2 / 1 5 % 2 = 25 = 1 = -5
Values, types, and operators Comparison Operators === == < strict
equality/inequality equal, not equal != !== <= >= >
Values, types, and operators Comparison Operators 1 == '1' =
true = true 1 == 1 1 === '1' = false
logical “or”, either or both of the values Values, types,
and operators Logical Operators || && logical “and”, both values should be true should be true
Values, types, and operators Falsy Values false null undefined ''
0 NaN

const name = 'arnelle'; var name = 'arnelle';
Variables Valid names first_name name lastName balance$ address1 PhoneNumber
Variables Invalid names first-name 2ndItem const
Exercises 01-data-types-variables
Conditional execution
if-else statement Conditional execution if (condition) { } else if
(condition) { } else { }
if-else statement Conditional execution const age = 12; if (age
>= 18) { // A } else { // B }
Iteration
while loop Iteration while (condition) { }
while loop Iteration while (true) { console.log('hi'); }
while loop Iteration let count = 0; while (count <
10) { console.log('hi'); count = count + 1; }
for loop Iteration for (initialize; condition; update) { }
for loop Iteration for ( let count = 0; count
< 10; count = count + 1 ) { console.log('hi'); }
Exercises 02-conditionals-and-iteration
Functions
Declaring a function Functions function add(num1, num2) { return num1
+ num2; }
Calling a function Functions function add(num1, num2) { return num1
+ num2; } add(1, 2); // 3
Function expressions let add = function(num1, num2) { return num1
+ num2; }; Functions
Arrow functions let add = (num1, num2) => num1 +
num2; Functions
Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE) Functions (function() { let num
= 12; console.log(num); })();
Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE) Functions (() => { let
num = 12; console.log(num); })();
Exercises 03-functions
Data structures
Objects Data structures { property1: value1, property2: value2 }
Objects Data structures let user = { username: 'arnelle', isAdmin:
true };
Objects Data structures let user = { username: 'arnelle', isAdmin:
true }; user.username; // 'arnelle'
in operator Data structures let user = { username: 'arnelle',
isAdmin: true }; 'username' in user; // true 'email' in user; // false
delete operator Data structures let user = { username: 'arnelle',
isAdmin: true }; delete user.username;
Arrays Data structures [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] [1, 'a',
true, undefined]
Arrays Data structures let nums = [1, 2, 3]; nums[0];
// 1 nums[1] = 4; nums.length; // 3 nums.includes(1); // true
Array Methods Data structures push pop concat find filter map
forEach reduce reverse shift slice some https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScri pt/Reference/Global_Objects/Array
Exercises 04-arrays-and-objects
Variable scope
var a = 1; console.log(a); Global scope Variable scope
var a = 1; function main() { var b =
2; } console.log(a); console.log(b); Function scope Variable scope
Function scope Variable scope function main() { if (true) {
var a = 1; } console.log(a); } console.log(a);
Block scope Variable scope function main() { if (true) {
let a = 1; } console.log(a); } console.log(a);
Object-Oriented Programming with JavaScript Part Two
function createPerson(name) { let obj = {}; obj.name = name;
obj.sayName = () => { console.log(obj.name); }; return obj; } let me = createPerson('arnelle');
Constructor function Object-Oriented Programming function Person(name) { this.name = name;
this.sayName = () => { console.log(this.name); }; }
Instantiation Object-Oriented Programming function Person(name) { this.name = name; this.sayName
= () => { console.log(this.name); }; } let me = new Person('arnelle');
function Person(name) { this.name = name; } Person.prototype.sayName = function()
{ console.log(this.name); }; Object prototypes Object-Oriented Programming
class Person { constructor(name) { this.name = name; } sayName()
{ console.log(this.name); } } class keyword Object-Oriented Programming
