Now that you’ve set up your developer environment and have run your first JavaScript code, we think you’re ready for a bit of history about JavaScript and also get introduced to this popular programming language serving most of the web.

In case you missed the previous tutorial where we setup our developer environment, you can find it here 👉 Setting up your developer environment for JavaScript, HTML, CSS

Before we start, I just want to give you a short “selling pitch” explaining what we’ll offer you with this tutorial series about JavaScript and Web Development. In this tutorial series, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the fundamentals all the way up to more advanced concepts of web development, providing hands-on examples that you can follow along with, even if you’ve never written a line of code before.

What sets our tutorial apart is the interactive learning experience — we offer a unique opportunity for you to run and test the code directly on our website (with the help of CodePen.io). Forget about the hassle of setting up complicated development environments; you can learn and experiment with web development in real time, making the learning process both enjoyable and practical.

Below is an example of how we’ll present the examples in our tutorials to you;

Now, enough about the “selling pitch” 😆 Let’s continue with the actual tutorial!
