Paul Wellens
Paul Wellens has been a senior product manager for a major computer company in the Los Angeles area and Silicon Valley for over two decades. Before that, he used to install Unix systems and train companies in Europe, from his native Belgium. Later in his career, he became a web development aficionado because it brought him back to another passion of his: programming. This is not his first book. His prior publication is of a different nature. Nature is what it is all about as it is a guidebook on Eastern California, which is illustrated with his own photographs. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise to learn that, besides experimenting with new web technologies, his major hobbies are photography and hiking in the Eastern Sierra.

Chapter 4. JavaScript

So far we have gone through three chapters and learned two languages, HTML and CSS. They are used to create a web page, give it content, and add styling to it. In this chapter, we will learn a third language, JavaScript, which is used for programming your web pages and add life to them. For quite some time, JavaScript was treated by some as a second class citizen. If ever this was deserved, it is definitely no longer true today. Before we get started with JavaScript, let us get oriented in the world of programming.
