Description

Welcome to the course JavaScript Micro-learning: The Basics.

This course is entirely delivered through motion graphics, providing a fast, clear, and streamlined way to learn the fundamental concepts of JavaScript.

The goal is to introduce the core ideas of the language in a simple and effective format, without unnecessary complexity.


Before diving into the language, we'll explore how the web and browsers work, along with their components.

We'll study how JavaScript is executed by browsers and how to ensure that JavaScript code execution doesn't block web page rendering.

We'll study the language's lexical structure, values, variables, and operators.

We'll understand how values ​​are stored in memory, analyzing the differences between assignment by value and assignment by reference.
