JavaScript is a client-side scripting language. It's flexible and versatile, working well with other languages and offering a wide array of libraries and frameworks that streamline development and make it easier to get a project off the ground.

What does JavaScript do?

JavaScript is mainly used for web development, but it can also be used for game and mobile development, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence.

What kind of jobs can JavaScript get me?

Learning JavaScript can put you on the path to a career as a Web Developer, Game Developer, Android Developer, or iOS Developer.

What else should I study if I am learning JavaScript?

If you're looking to build websites, you'll also want to learn HTML and CSS, along with JavaScript libraries like React, Angular, and Node.js. If you want to start building video games, try Phaser.js — and if you prefer mobile development, check out React Native.
