This week in my course we learned a little about how to use JavaScript. We learned only a few basics, but it’s a very powerful tool for creating dynamic web pages. What do I mean by a dynamic web page you may be asking yourself, well I tell you. My previous page only displayed the information I put on it, which is great for people just look at the pictures, videos and read what’s there but, they are unable to interact with it or see updated information, unless I updated the page manually. Using JavaScript I am able to add things like the date and time, which will update and show current information. Also you can interact with it, I only have limited examples, but for instance you can have a person visiting your site enter their name or whatever data you’re looking for and have the site respond in some way. Additionally you can use it to perform mathematic functions, I have yet to “play” around too much with that function, the examples we were given only demonstrate problems that we enter, I think with a little trial and error, and my limited C programming knowledge I can allow someone to enter their own variables to solve for. Till next time…
