Getting Started with Javascript

Why Javascript ?

Javascript is just everything these days in Software Development.  Javascript used to be all over the browser and respond to user events such as form loading, form filling, form submission.

With the introduction of Node the dynamics have changed , now javascript can run not only on  browser but on the servers that serving the content. So,  If you are thinking, what I am thinking then we both are exactly right, Javascript is everywhere.

With such massive spread footprint of javascript, you have ton of options that you can make career out of.
