Short Description
This book was crafted as an introductory course in web scripting. In this book, the reader will be exposed to introductory concepts of web scripting using the language JavaScript to create user side scripts. This book will help expand the reader's knowledge as a developer. This book is structured in the form of a guide that is meant to walk you step by step through some of the most challenging concepts of JavaScript. Those concepts include conditionals, loops, functions and much more information that will help the reader develop his career in the future. This is a perfect book for people who want short explanations and straightforward answers to some of the most daring questions that JavaScript has to offer. This book is also a continuation of the book "Beginner's guide to web development" that was also written by myself. If you have no background in HTML and CSS then I would strongly recommend reading that book prior to jumping into the material of this book.

Frequent Asked Questions
In here I will try to answer the most common questions I get about my book.
01. What do I need to know going into this book?
You will need to have a very good understanding of HTML and CSS. This book builds heavily on those programming languages so better get good with those before picking up this book.
02. Will this teach me jQuery?
jQuery is simply a very popular JavaScript library that makes life a little bit easier when programming with JavaScript. This book will not go into any of the JavaScript libraries because then I would have to go over AngularJs, NodeJS and ReactJS.
03. How long will this book take?
This is not a very long book because I tried to focus on the most importent aspects of programming with JS. While most other books teach you a thousand things that you will never use, my book focuses only on the useful things that JavaScript has to offer. I would assume that if you read this book an hour a day it should take roughly a week and a half to finish.
04. Where to go after reading this book?
My book has an entire chapter dedicated to what you should do next. So do not worry about not knowing what to learn next.
