Roadmap - Zero to Hero in JavaScript

JavaScript is a programming language used both on the client-side and server-side that allows you to make web pages interactive.

Pros

  • Popularity. JavaScript is used everywhere on the web.
  • Gives the ability to create rich interfaces.
  • Easy to learn and implement.

Cons

  • Browser Support. JavaScript is sometimes interpreted differently by different browsers. Difficult to write cross-browser code.
  • Code is always visible to everyone on the client side.
