QuickStart Tutorials

Did you know that you can learn JavaScript without knowing any HTML or CSS? You can!

If that’s your situation, then consider looking at the QuickStart tutorials. All you need is NodeJS, a terminal, and an editor like Visual Studio Code. See the System Setup on how to install these tools.

Here’s a summary of what each QuickStart covers.

The QuickStart Series gets you up and running with JavaScript - No HTML or CSS required! There are four sets available.

You can start with the JavaScript Quickstart for beginners followed by the series About Objects and Functions. From there, you can jump into either JavaScript Projects or Flow Control Statements.
