JavaScript is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language. (from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Introduction)
It was invented in 1995 to add dynamic components to websites, and it has been the backbone of the interactive web ever since. Nowadays, it can also be used for many other things, including:
- serving a website
- writing desktop and mobile applications
- controlling robots and smart devices
- automating your desktop
- visualizing data
- creating games
We use Mozilla Foundation's documentation as our main reference because Mozilla is the official manager of JavaScript and because this documentation is more oriented towards developers rather than ECMAScript's really long PDF file.
!> Read this document first to know what study groups are.
This study group is held once a month and is led by our volunteer leaders. However, everyone is welcome to join, learn, and share their knowledge in the community.
Everyone joining this study group and other Women Who Code events must follow our code of conduct.
- Gitter Chat: Interact with the community. You can share something about JavaScript, or ask help if you're stuck on a problem.
- Meetup: Get updated with the upcoming study group and other event schedules.
- Facebook: Get updated about what's happening with the community.
- Twitter: Get updates about current and future events.
Attend one of our events and talk to us! 😄
Even a little amount is a big helping us achieve our mission of inspiring women to excel in tech careers. ❤️
You can donate at our Open Collective.
