JS Fun in the Library

Overview

In front end web development, the programming language you will encounter most often is JavaScript. Soon, we'll also use HTML and CSS to help a user interact with our applications, however before we do that, we need to understand how to use JavaScript to handle the logic of our applications.

In this project, you'll be gaining experience working with variables, primitive data types, looping, arrays, and objects. As you work through the iterations, be sure to take time to stop and refactor you solutions. There is rarely one right way to solve a problem in programming, and part of your job will be evaulating the trade offs between different approaches to solving a problem.

Learning goals

Understand what JavaScript primitives are, and how/when to use them
Understand how to declare variables and assign data to them
Practice using objects and arrays
