    About this workshop

    With a solid foundation of HTML & CSS under your belt, it’s time to take it to the next level and learn one of today’s most in-demand coding languages, JavaScript.

    In this free, 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn about the history and relevance of JavaScript, and get hands-on practice with basic syntax like logging, variables, and data structures. Then, take it up a notch and practice applying “dark mode” to your browser with the click of a button.

    By the end of this workshop, you’ll be ready to take on a new challenge: [Build an Interactive Website with JavaScript]. Next week, you’ll add interactivity to the website you built with HTML & CSS in week 2. We’ll see you there.

    You’ll leave this workshop knowing:

    • The history and context of JavaScript today
    • The benefits and limitations of JavaScript
    • Basic JavaScript syntax like logging, variables, data structures, and more
    • How to turn a browser to dark mode with the click of a button
