About JavaScript

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is an all-purpose programming language that brings websites to life. Chances are, if you’ve signed on to social media today, clicked on a dropdown menu, engaged with a map, or watched something animated online, you’ve seen JavaScript at work. If you’re ready to add animation and interactive elements to your web pages, learning JavaScript is the place to start. In this section, you’ll learn what JavaScript is, the best classes to take to study it, and how to implement it to make specific stylistic additions to your code. Many people learn HTML and CSS before or alongside JavaScript.

JavaScript allows you to create dynamic, interactive web pages, apps, and video games. JavaScript is a universal coding language used in front end web development, back end web development, full stack web development, and web design. Understanding these programming languages is an asset to anyone looking to begin a new career in technology, web design, or web development. Even if you’re already in the industry, learning JavaScript can lead to a more lucrative salary or even a career pivot. JavaScript is an industry favorite because it’s a versatile, well-organized program that allows you to control multimedia sections of a website and animate images.

Noble Desktop teaches several courses on JavaScript. Below, you’ll find a variety of ways to learn about these topics.

Front End Web Development

A Front End Developer uses JavaScript to code the parts of websites, apps, presentations, and video games that are visible to users. Some Front End Developers will update current websites to meet modern standards or create prototypes from wireframes. Many front end developers appreciate JavaScript for its organization and adaptability. One important element that makes JavaScript so versatile is its libraries and frameworks. Frameworks are groups of code that developers can copy and use to make apps, user interfaces, widgets, or effects—so instead of having to write all new code, these JavaScript libraries allow you to use their pre-made frameworks, which means you’ll be able to create more by writing less code. Some of the most commonly used libraries are jQuery, React, Node.js, and GreenSock (also called GSAP). Front end developers work in industries across the board, usually in teams with back end developers, designers, and project managers. If there are any issues with a website, platform, or other product once it’s loaded, front end developers will typically use JavaScript to fix it or make any changes to the previously written code.

Back End Web Development

Back End Developers use JavaScript to build the back end (the server-side) that powers websites or apps. They work with front end developers, marketers, user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) designers, and researchers to create a cohesive experience for the user. Like front end developers, back end developers can find lucrative jobs using their skills anyplace where websites are needed—so basically, everywhere! Back end developers should be fluent in JavaScript as well as other programming languages like Ruby, PHP, and/or Python. Even if back end developers don’t use JavaScript daily, they’ll need to have a familiarity and understanding of the language since they will be working with front end developers to create the best product possible. Often, back end developers will use Node.js (one of JavaScript’s many libraries)in their everyday work. In addition to fluency with programming languages, back end developers should be good communicators and collaborators overall. Even though they are building parts of the website that users don’t see, back end developers will be working with many other types of developers on most projects. The goal is to make an accessible, efficient, and good-looking product and that can’t happen without an understanding of the larger scope.

Full Stack Web Development

Full stack developers work creating websites and apps for both the front end (what people see) and the back end (what powers the site). Since full stack developers are expected to know every part of the technologies, they need to be familiar with basic front end web languages like JavaScript, HTML, CSS. They’ll also need to be well-versed in back end technologies like server configuration, databases, SQL, and Python. More experienced full stack developers should also have a deep understanding of user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). Most companies create a coding language and framework for their application or website and when the developers join a new team, they adapt to the existing framework. Because of this, it’s common for full stack developers to learn new languages and technologies for each new position. Full stack developers should be experienced in frameworks like NodeJS, which acts as a bridge between the back end and front end in JavaScript, and Django, an open-source web app base written in Python. Because of their wealth of expertise and versatility, full stack developers are sought after employees in companies of all kinds, from small startups to large tech corporations.

Web Design

Web design combines coding (how a website is built) with design (how a website looks) to create an attractive, functional app or website. With online markets rising and web-based media continuing to expand, there is high demand for those experienced in web design. There are two distinct paths within web design: user experience (UX) design, which focuses on making websites to be efficient and easy to navigate, and user interface (UI) design which centers on making sure websites look attractive. Web designers often have expertise in different areas while some web design experts understand elements of the entire process. The more knowledge the better: it ensures that both the coding and the design elements merge to create a cohesive, navigable, pleasant, and user-friendly experience. Although some web designers may not need to have a deep, comprehensive understanding of JavaScript to do their jobs, it’s a good idea to have a working knowledge of JavaScript and some of its libraries and capabilities when working in web design. Knowing JavaScript can help web designers know how and why certain code or libraries work. It can also be useful for web designers to know JavaScript when showcasing or prototyping an interactive design. Learning JavaScript will help you become a more well-rounded and valuable web designer, which in turn leads to more career opportunities.

Why Learn JavaScript?

Learning JavaScript is crucial for those with their eyes on a career in technology. Whether you’re setting out on a career path in web development or web design, knowing JavaScript will enhance your employability and job prospects. With the internet continuing to grow at an astounding rate, web design and web development careers are in high demand. And to succeed in either of those fields, it’s a good idea to be well-versed in JavaScript, which is considered one of the foundational programming languages. Even though JavaScript has been around for quite some time, it’s not outdated and continues to evolve and add more libraries like Node.js for the server side, and React Native and Ionic for mobile devices. According to the 2020 StackOverflow Developer Survey, JavaScript is the most commonly used programming language for the eighth year in a row.

Because of its universality, learning JavaScript can lead to a lucrative career in front end development on the user side or coding on the server side in back end development. You can go in the direction of web design, machine learning, and even software engineering. Due to this popularity, 72% of companies are looking to hire those skilled in JavaScript. And on account of the high demand, salaries are high, as well: Career Foundry’s 2021 JavaScript salary guide reports that a JavaScript developer in the United States earns an average salary of around $111K a year. If you’re looking for an in-demand and well-paid career path, consider learning JavaScript. Once you’ve mastered JavaScript, it will be easier to learn other more complex programming languages like Java, C++, and Python. No matter which career path you choose to pursue with your JavaScript expertise, it’s a fantastic skill set that will take you far in the technology world.

JavaScript Careers

As the internet continues to grow, so too does the demand for those who know how to build more websites and apps. JavaScript is an important tool to build a career in web development or web design. Businesses are looking to grow their presence online and knowing JavaScript makes that possible. JavaScript is an industry favorite because of its wide variety of libraries and frameworks. Rather than reinventing the wheel, developers can use these collections of code to create original projects faster. Front end, back end, and full stack web developers all use JavaScript daily.

Those who have mastered JavaScript and other coding languages and skills can find work in a variety of roles. Front end developers specialize in the part of a website you see in a web browser and interact with, and ensure the site looks attractive and draws people in. Back end developers also use JavaScript. Their specialty is the part that powers a website, and they work creating a site’s logic and database functionality. Full stack developers work building both the front and the back end. Being skilled in JavaScript can also lead to a career path as a JavaScript developer. In a position like this, you would focus mostly on JavaScript, rather than a variety of other coding languages.

According to recent job postings from Indeed and salary rankings from Glassdoor, individuals with JavaScript experience can find a variety of jobs in development, software engineering, and web design. Web developers just starting out can earn a salary starting around $77,000 a year, with that number fluctuating depending on location and experience. Developers with JavaScript expertise can earn about $117,000 annually. And web developers with specific niche experience such as front end, back end, full stack, or .Net developers, can earn anywhere from around $98,000 to $127,000 annually. The more skills you have, the more valuable and versatile you become. Learning JavaScript is a great place to begin this knowledge and education to set you on a lucrative career path.

How to Get Started in JavaScript

Once you choose to leap into learning JavaScript, it might seem overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. But deciding that you want to start is an important first step. If you already have experience and familiarity with HTML and CSS, you can likely jump right into learning JavaScript. If you’re a complete beginner, don’t worry: there are classes and bootcamps formulated specifically for those with little to no coding experience. One of the most efficient and effective ways to learn JavaScript is by taking a virtual or in-person course. Most courses are accessible, affordable, and provide a jumping-off point for further education. They’re also a great way to collaborate with others who are interested in a similar career path. Taking a class provides an opportunity for mentorship or one-on-one coaching with your experienced JavaScript instructor. Another way to connect with other programmers, potentially find a mentor, or simply build relationships in the programming world is by attending face-to-face or live online networking events.

Another element to remember when getting started with JavaScript is that on the spectrum of programming languages, JavaScript is considered beginner-friendly—making it a perfect point of entry into the coding world. Plus, since all modern web browsers come with JavaScript already installed, you won’t have to set up anything special on your computer and you can get to coding as soon as you like!

Because JavaScript is used around the world, on every web browser, and across a variety of platforms, you’ll find plenty of free online JavaScript challenges and exercises to help keep your new skills sharp. The more you practice, the better! Additionally, seek out a community of online support as you embark on your journey.

Noble Desktop’s web development classes are a great way to learn JavaScript. Each class provides step-by-step workbooks you can keep for future reference, to practice exercises, or if you want to brush up on certain skills.
