Introduction to JavaScript – The Language of the Web
Are you curious about how websites become interactive? Buttons that click, sliders that move, or forms that respond — it’s all thanks to JavaScript.
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language that runs in the browser. It allows developers to add interactivity, logic, and behavior to web pages.
While HTML structures the content and CSS styles it, JavaScript brings your website to life.
