The web rules the world and it is definitely true to say that \u201cJavaScript Rules the Web<\/strong>\u201d. There\u2019s no doubt in saying that JavaScript has become one of the most demanding and high-paying programming languages in the tech world. Out of 700 programming languages, JavaScript has been ranked as the most popular programming language, according to Statista.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re the one who\u2019s looking for a step-by-step path to learning JavaScript,<\/strong> here\u2019s one. In this blog, we\u2019ll be going through a Roadmap of JavaScript for beginners<\/strong> in which you\u2019ll get to know the basics to advanced concepts of it. Without much ado, let\u2019s begin:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is JavaScript?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JavaScript is a lightweight, integrated, and object-oriented programming language especially suited to building dynamic web pages or web applications. The best part of JavaScript is that it is used to build both front-end and back-end web applications. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

But before we understand its roadmap, it\u2019s very important for you to know that HTML and CSS<\/a> play a vital role in web development. Hence, you must be thoroughly familiar with HTML and CSS before starting to learn JavaScript<\/a> if you want to be a web developer. Do check out <\/strong><\/span>A Complete Guide to HTML and CSS for Beginners<\/a> which is a must-read for every beginner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main reason why developers are choosing JavaScript over other languages is that it pays the highest salary in India or abroad. Also, MNCs like Google, Microsoft, and several others hire JavaScript developers<\/a> in mass.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into the next section, ensure you’re solid on full-stack development essentials like front-end frameworks, back-end technologies, and database management. If you are looking for a detailed Full Stack Development career program, you can join HCL GUVI\u2019s Full Stack Development Course<\/a><\/strong> with Placement Assistance. You will be able to master the MERN stack<\/a> (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js<\/a>) and build real-life projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s get into ECMAScript. So, What is ECMAScript?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ECMAScript<\/a> which stands for European Computer Manufacturers Association Script<\/strong> is the scripting language based on JavaScript. Released in the year 1997. In layman’s terms, it\u2019s a standardization for the creation of a scripting language. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the feature of \u201cwrite less, do more\u201d suits well in ES6<\/strong><\/em>, and it allows you to write code in a more readable format. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
