Summary

In this chapter you learned the terminology that all JavaScript developers need to be familiar with to succeed. As you go through this book we will be expanding upon each of these topics in a lot more detail. We will be going over in-depth examples, real-life scenarios, and learning about situational JavaScript (when to use what thing).

We covered everything from the basics, such as the DOM, variables, and strings, to definitions of the various types of data storage options in JavaScript (there are a lot more, but that’s for a later chapter), and we even delved into the more advanced topics like conditionals, loops, and functions.

If you found this chapter a little overwhelming, don’t worry; we’ll be breaking down each of the topics individually throughout the book and building on each one. Right now it is important to know the terms, be able to recognize them as code samples, and know their general meanings. This will aid in having a more fluid conversation about JavaScript. We can now talk about functions and loops because you know what they are.
