The Three Pillars of Web Programming

A webpage is the result of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript working together seamlessly.

By effectively utilizing these three elements, you can create not only simple websites but also complex, interactive applications, including web-based games and dynamic user interfaces.

What roles do HTML, CSS, and JavaScript play in web development?


HTML: The Skeleton of a Webpage

HTML is like the skeleton of a person.

It defines the structure of a webpage and organizes the content that appears on the screen.


CSS: The Clothes of a Webpage

CSS is like the clothes of a person.

Using CSS, you can apply design elements like style, color, and size to HTML elements.


JavaScript: The Brain of a Webpage

JavaScript is like the brain of a person.

Used alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript adds interactivity and dynamic functionality to a webpage.

Dynamic functionality refers to actions such as changing the background color when a specific button is clicked or validating the value entered in an input field (e.g., ensuring a password is at least 6 characters long).

Experience Coding with JavaScript

In programming, a variable is a space in memory where you can store a value. Simply put, a variable is a box that temporarily holds data.

Using JavaScript, you can declare a variable to process data and recall the stored value whenever needed.

let is a reserved word in JavaScript used to create a box that can hold data, the value of which can be changed at any time.

The JavaScript code let myCurrentIndex = 490 stores the value 490 in a variable named myCurrentIndex. If you change 490 to any other number between 0 and 783, you can observe a change in the initial position of the character.

Enter let in the blank below to complete the JavaScript code that declares a variable.

 myCurrentIndex = 490
