In this chapter, we learn how to create plain objects with properties. We use them to create a simple flash card app.

So far, all of our JavaScript code resided in a single file – be it an .html file or a .js file. In this chapter, we learn how to split it up into multiple files. And how to automatically test if the code we write is correct.

In this chapter, we run a web server on our own computer and use it to serve a web app.

In this chapter we explore two topics:

• A shell is like browser console, but for the operating system instead of for JavaScript. It helps us with programming by running the tools (programs) we need to get things done.
• Node.js is a program that lets us run JavaScript code outside browsers – which we can use for a variety of things.

In this chapter, we learn how to do things repeatedly in JavaScript.

In this chapter, we learn about tools for only running a piece of code if a condition is met: truth values (booleans), comparisons and if statements.

In this chapter we look at one way of storing more than one value in a variable: arrays.

In the last chapter, we worked with numbers. In this chapter, we’ll work with text and write our first applications.

In this chapter, we take the very first steps with JavaScript and learn about numbers, variables and functions.

This blog post provides an overview of my new series of blog posts called “Learning web development”.
