This book is a fast-paced introduction to programming with JavaScript. Nick Morgan starts with fundamental programming concepts, such as variables, arrays, objects, functions, conditionals, loops, and classes. Aided by examples and hands-on exercises, he then builds on this foundation and combines JavaScript with HTML and CSS to create interactive web applications.

The book also has three substantial projects: a Pong-style game with a virtual opponent, an app that generates electronic music, and a platform for visualizing data fetched from an API.
