Dive deeper into testing and build automation tools by learning JavaScript
- Mark WinteringhamFrom its humble beginnings, JavaScript has grown to be one of the dominant languages in software development. Originally used to create animations, process information and trigger events, we can now use JavaScript to create serverless single-page applications, desktop applications, APIs and automated checks. JavaScript is a powerful language to use but getting started with it can be overwhelming. Beginners to JavaScript have a lot of questions: What is JavaScript? What is NodeJS? and how do they differ? Why is JavaScript written differently to languages such as C# and Java? How do you use JavaScript to solve testing problems
In ‘Introduction to JavaScript’, you will learn the answers to these questions and more by learning the basic rules and flows that make up JavaScript. You will be taught about the JavaScript ecosystem, how JavaScript behaves and the syntax of JavaScript all with a view to getting you up and running creating apps to support your testing.
