Join Build Carolina for a night of learning JavaScript!
This course is an overview of JavaScript’s core concepts.

What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a coding language responsible for how content on a webpage behaves, and is closely linked with HTML and CSS, which provide structure and styling to a webpage. When you post an update to Facebook or X, JavaScript makes it possible for the update to appear instantly, without having to refresh the page. Ever notice a credit card payment form that instantly recognizes the type of card (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) as soon as you finish typing?
That's JavaScript in action. In almost everything you're doing online, JavaScript is playing an important role in improving the interactions you experience as a user.

Why should I learn JavaScript?
There are many reasons why you should learn JavaScript if you are interested in pursuing a career in software development. Here are just a few:

  • Great for beginners
  • The most popular programming language used by professional developers
  • It’s the default language of the internet
  • It’s extremely versatile
  • This is a highly sought after skill by employers in both the state and the nation
