Introduction to JavaScript
 JavaScript is a versatile programming language.
 It runs in the browser and on servers.
 Used for dynamic and interactive web pages.
 Supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative
styles.
 Essential for modern web development.
History of JavaScript
 Created by Brendan Eich in 1995.
 Originally developed for Netscape Navigator.
 Standardized as ECMAScript.
 Evolved through multiple versions.
 Widely adopted across all browsers.
Why Use JavaScript?
 Client-side interactivity.
 Rich user interfaces.
 Fast execution in browsers.
 Large ecosystem and community.
 Integration with HTML and CSS.
JavaScript Syntax Basics
 Statements end with semicolons.
 Case-sensitive language.
 Variables declared with var, let, or const.
 Functions defined using function keyword.
 Supports loops and conditionals.
Variables and Data Types
 Primitive types: string, number, boolean, null,
undefined.
 Complex types: object, array, function.
 Use let and const for block-scoped variables.
 Type coercion is common.
 Dynamic typing allows flexibility.
Operators in JavaScript
 Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, %
 Comparison operators: ==, ===, !=, !==, >, <
 Logical operators: &&, ||, !
 Assignment operators: =, +=, -=, etc.
 Ternary operator for conditional expressions.
Control Structures
 if, else if, else for conditional logic.
 switch for multiple conditions.
 for, while, do-while loops.
 break and continue statements.
 Nested control structures supported.
Functions in JavaScript
 Reusable blocks of code.
 Can accept parameters and return values.
 Function expressions and declarations.
 Arrow functions for concise syntax.
 Closures and scope handling.
Objects and Arrays
 Objects store key-value pairs.
 Arrays hold ordered lists of values.
 Access elements using dot or bracket notation.
 Support for iteration and manipulation.
 JSON format based on JavaScript objects.
DOM Manipulation
 Document Object Model represents HTML structure.
 Use document.querySelector and getElementById.
 Modify content and styles dynamically.
 Add event listeners for interactivity.
 Create and remove elements programmatically.
Events in JavaScript
 Respond to user actions like clicks and input.
 Use addEventListener to bind events.
 Event object provides context.
 Support for bubbling and capturing.
 Custom events can be created.
Error Handling
 Use try, catch, finally blocks.
 Handle runtime errors gracefully.
 Throw custom errors using throw.
 Debug using console.log and breakpoints.
 Prevent crashes and improve UX.
ES6 and Modern JavaScript
 Introduced let, const, arrow functions.
 Template literals and destructuring.
 Modules and classes for structure.
 Promises and async/await for async code.
 Improved readability and maintainability.
JavaScript in Web
Development
 Works with HTML and CSS.
 Used in frameworks like React, Angular, Vue.
 Enables Single Page Applications (SPAs).
 Communicates with servers via APIs.
 Essential for frontend and backend development.
Conclusion
 JavaScript is powerful and essential.
 Used across all layers of web development.
 Constantly evolving with new features.
 Large community and resources available.
 Start learning by building small projects.
