JavaScript Garden Although JavaScript deals fine with the syntax of two matching curly braces for blocks, it does not support block scope; hence, all that is left in the language is function scope. function test() { // a scope for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // not a scope // count } console.log(i); // 10} There are also no distinct namespaces in JavaScript, which means that everything gets defined in one globally shared namespace. Each time a variable is referenced, JavaScript will traverse upwards through all the scopes until it finds it. In the case that it reaches the global scope and still has not found the requested name, it will raise a ReferenceError. The Bane of Global Variables // script Afoo = '42'; // script Bvar foo = '42' The above two scripts do not have the same effect. Again, that is not at all the same effect: not using var can have major implications. // global scopevar foo = 42;function test() { // local scope foo = 21;}test();foo; // 21 Local Variables var foo = 3; bar = 4;}test(10); Hoisting

Dix ans de pratique Javascript à Paris | Édition N°47 Je m’appelle Noëlie et je développe du Javascript depuis 2002. J’ai travaillé sur des sites à fort trafic, sur des outils de back-office et des applications mobile ou tablette. L’intitulé de mon poste est très difficile à définir car, bien que je fasse du développement Javascript, je me préoccupe avant tout du rendu final dans le navigateur. Ce métier est appelé développeur front-end ou front-office.La conception en règle générale est pour moi une vraie passion. Elle s’étend également au domaine des objets physiques : je partage toutes mes créations sur mon blog. J’aimerais vous raconter l’impact qu’ont eues les évolutions de Javascript sur mon métier de développeur à Paris. Le Javascript est un langage qui permet de toucher à beaucoup de domaines : du fonctionnement d’une interface à la manipulation de données, les possibilités sont multiples ! Intégrateur : Il travaille avec HTML et CSS mais pas avec Javascript. Du DHTML de fin 2003 à début 2005 2009 : l’explosion de HTML5

Code Playground The Google APIs Explorer is a tool available on most REST API reference documentation pages that lets you try Google API methods without writing code. The APIs Explorer acts on real data, so use caution when trying methods that create, modify, or delete data. For more details, read the APIs Explorer documentation. How to start exploring Click the name of the API you want to explore in the list below. Google APIs Explorer Directory Introduction JavaScript and Java are similar in some ways but fundamentally different in some others. The JavaScript language resembles Java but does not have Java's static typing and strong type checking. JavaScript follows most Java expression syntax, naming conventions and basic control-flow constructs which was the reason why it was renamed from LiveScript to JavaScript. In contrast to Java's compile-time system of classes built by declarations, JavaScript supports a runtime system based on a small number of data types representing numeric, Boolean, and string values. JavaScript is a very free-form language compared to Java. Java is a class-based programming language designed for fast execution and type safety. In contrast, JavaScript descends in spirit from a line of smaller, dynamically typed languages such as HyperTalk and dBASE.

Truthy and Falsy: When All is Not Equal in JavaScript JavaScript variables are loosely/dynamically typed and the language doesn’t care how a value is declared or changed. 2017.08.22: This article has been updated to reflect the current state of the JavaScript ecosystem. let x; x = 1; x = '1'; x = [1]; Seemingly different values equate to true when compared with == (loose or abstract equality) because JavaScript (effectively) converts each to a string representation before comparison: A more obvious false result occurs when comparing with === (strict equality) because the type is considered: Internally, JavaScript sets a value to one of six primitive data types: Undefined (a variable with no defined value)Null (a single null value)Boolean (true or false)Number (this includes Infinity and NaN – not a number!) Everything else is an Object — including arrays. Truthy and Falsy As well as a type, each value also has an inherent boolean value, generally known as either truthy or falsy. The following values are always falsy: Everything else is truthy. 1.

Javascript - Accueil Learn Code The Hard Way -- Books And Courses To Learn To Code JavaScript JavaScript (JS) is a lightweight interpreted (or just-in-time compiled) programming language with first-class functions. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages, many non-browser environments also use it, such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB and Adobe Acrobat. JavaScript is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm, single-threaded, dynamic language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and declarative (e.g. functional programming) styles. JavaScript's dynamic capabilities include runtime object construction, variable parameter lists, function variables, dynamic script creation (via eval), object introspection (via for...in and Object utilities), and source-code recovery (JavaScript functions store their source text and can be retrieved through toString()). This section is dedicated to the JavaScript language itself, and not the parts that are specific to Web pages or other host environments. Looking to become a front-end web developer? Get started
