🟨JavaScript Lessons
Lesson 1 / 69

Setting Up (What You'll Need)

One of the best things about JavaScript is that almost no installation is required. The browser already on your computer (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.) is itself a JavaScript runtime. It's one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, and it's the only standard language for adding interactivity to websites.

  • Try it right now: You can write and run code directly in your browser, just like on this page (no installation needed just to practice here).
  • For serious development: Visual Studio Code (free) is the standard editor.
  • If you also want to write server-side code: installing Node.js lets you run JavaScript outside the browser too.
