What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a programming language commonly used in web development. It was originally developed by Netscape as a means to add dynamic and interactive elements to websites.
Setting Up Your Environment
To start writing JavaScript, all you need is a text editor and a web browser. You can write JavaScript directly in your HTML file using the <script>
tag.
Writing Your First JavaScript Program
Create a new HTML file and add the following code to write "Hello, World!" to the console:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
console.log('Hello, World!');
</script>
</body>
</html>
