<h2>Javascript Basics</h2>
</div>
<div id="jsdescription">
<p>JavaScript is a cross-platform, object-oriented language. JavaScript is extremely popular for a variety of reasons. It is a small and lightweight language allowing maximum flexibility for developers to take it in a bunch of different directions. JavaScript lives inside a host environment (a web browser or Node server), it can be connected to the objects of these environments to provide programmatic control over them. </p>

<div id="jsbullets">
<ul>
<li class="bullet"><a href="">Variable Declaration</a> JavaScript variables are containers for storing data values - imagine a cup you fill with coffee, the cup holds the coffee, a variable holds a value. All JavaScript variables must be identified with unique names. These unique names are called identifiers, <span>var x;</span></li>
<li class="bullet"><a href="">Variable Assignment</a>Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables - our cup can now have coffee poured in it, giving our variable a value to hold. The = assignment operator assigns a value to a variable <span>var x = 10;</span></li>
<li class="bullet"><a href="">Data Types</a> Data types are an important concept; to be able to operate on variables you need to know the data type. There are six data types that are JavaScript primitives: Boolean -- <span>true</span> or <span>false;</span> null - <span>null</span> aka nothing; Number - <span>42</span> or <span> 3.14159; </span> String - <span>"Coding Dojo Rocks!";</span> Array - <span>[1, 'Coding',2,'Dojo'];</span> and Object - <span>{first_name: 'Jane',last_name:'Doe'}</span></li>
<li class="bullet"><a href="">Conditionals</a> When you write code, you want to perform different actions for different decisions - hitting different code blocks based on value or conditionals that have been met. You can use conditional statements in your code to accomplish this. There are the following conditional statements; <span>if</span> is a specified condition is true, do this code in our code block; <span>else if</span> to specify a new condition to test, if the first condition is false; <span>else we execute this block of code;</span> <span>var x;</span></li>
<li class="bullet"><a href="">Loops</a> There are many different kinds of loops in every programming language, but they all essentially do the same thing: they will repeat an action some number of times. IMagine you have to run a mile, well you run around the track four times and then you stop. That's a loop!</li>
<li class="bullet"><a href="">Function</a> Functions are an encapsulation of a code block. When we call our function this will run that code block. Think of it as a list of instructions. As an example imagine we are putting together a desk from Ikea, we open the instruction manual and get started, first we screw the legs to the table top; next we place the right way up,. Done! We finished our instructions. Sadly there are a ton more tables to do so lets call our function over and over and over again.</li>
