So, how do you get programming with JavaScript?
Well, you just get programming with JavaScript.
If you really want to understand programming, you have to jump in and write programs. Reading books and pondering code can be fun and informative, but it’s trying to solve problems and create code yourself that really builds up your skills, experience, and resilience. But you’re not alone. In this chapter you look at ways you can get help if you get stuck on a project or are just curious about how things work. First, you investigate using JavaScript in web pages saved on your own computer, rather than on JS Bin.
JS Bin and other online coding sites are great for trying out your ideas and checking that your code works. But you want to break out from the sandbox and create your own sites. This section looks at writing and saving your files locally (on your own computer) and opening them in your browser.
