Description

This is a record of a one-day introductory workshop in Javascript in a collaboration between CodeCast and West Coast Foundation. The workshop happened on December 14th, 2019.

Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSWZRHBW4Qgyzov30fYd9GKMvp58zVlUeucWCQEt48gkx_L7bkJ5wtFYcwYjaJ8lxAEcom15KGmSn9n/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000

The workshop intends to introduce the basic principles in programming using the Javascript language.

Topics we will cover:

• Getting started with Javascript
• Values: Strings, Numbers, Booleans
• Variables
• Functions
• Taking input from the user and displaying output
• Conditionals: if/else statements
• Loops: for loops and while loops.

At the end of the workshop, you will have some basic understanding of programming in Javascript and you will be able to build a simple application in it.

We will be building a fun Chrome Extension as an example at the end of the workshop.

Hopefully, this will get you excited enough about programming that you will take a more complete course later!
