JavaScript from Scratch: Parts One and Two

I’ve put together a series of eight talks which covers the basics of the JavaScript language. Below are the first two which handle most of the introductory material. Next week, I will post two more which cover the event model and writing JavaScript applications. The week following that, will be an overview of the DOM and object-oriented JavaScript. In the last week I will post talks which cover AJAX and JavaScript best practices

This whole series presents a basic set of knowledge that I think any front-end developer should know.

Part One: Getting Your Feet Wet

This talk talks about the four basic building blocks of programming: variables, conditionals, loops and functions.

Part Two: Playing With Data

This talk details the data types available in JavaScript applications. Strings, Numbers, Booleans, Arrays, and Objects are discussed. Functions as values has been omitted until a later talk.
