Women Who Code Manila JavaScript Study Group

JavaScript is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language. It was invented in 1995 to add dynamic components to websites, and it has been the backbone of the interactive web ever since. Nowadays, it can also be used for many other things, including:

• serving a website
• writing desktop and mobile applications
• controlling robots and smart devices
• automating your desktop
• visualizing data
• creating games

We use Mozilla Foundation's documentation as our main reference because Mozilla is the official manager of JavaScript and because this documentation is more oriented towards developers rather than ECMAScript's really long PDF file.
