Let's talk about why learning JavaScript.
The first one is called widespread use.
JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the web alongside with HTML and CSS.
And almost every website uses JavaScript to some extent making it an indispensable skill for web developers.
As a result, there is a high demand for JavaScript developers in the job market.
Then we will talk about how versatile JavaScript is.
JavaScript is a versatile language that can be used for both client side and server side developments
and thanks to platforms like Node.js and others.
When we say versatile, it simply means that with one language we can use it on the server side and
use it on the client side without learning any backend programming language.
So how awesome it is.
And again, this means that learning JavaScript enables you to become a full stack web developer capable
of building complete web applications from front end to back end.
And this is what I do, or this is my skill as a full stack web developer using only JavaScript.
Then we will talk about rich ecosystem.
JavaScript has a vibrant and thriving community which has led to the creation of numerous libraries
and frameworks and tools to simplify and speed up web development.
Popular examples include React, and I believe you've heard it before, and Angular and Vue for Front
End Development and Express for back end development.
So guys, by learning JavaScript, you gain access to this rich ecosystem and can leverage these tools
to build high quality applications.
Then we will talk about continuous evolution.
JavaScript is a constantly evolving language with new features and improvements being added regularly
through the Ecmascript standard, as we have spoken about.
So this ensures that JavaScript remains relevant and up to date with latest industry trends and best
practices, and next step is transferable skills.
JavaScript syntax and programming concepts are similar to many other programming languages like Python,
Java or C Sharp.
As a result, guys learning JavaScript can provide a solid foundation for learning other languages and
expanding your skill set as a developer.
And last but not the least is career opportunities.
JavaScript popularity and versatile open up a wide range of career opportunities from front end and
back end development to full stack engineering, mobile application development and even game development
for one language.
Look at the skills that you're going to have as a mobile app developer, game developer, full stack,
back end, front end and even desktop applications.
So in conclusion, learning JavaScript is very crucial for any aspiring web developer due to its widespread
use, versatile rich ecosystem, continuous evolution, transferable skills and the numerous career
opportunities it offers.
So mastering JavaScript will not only make you a more competitive candidate in the job market, but
also provide a strong foundation for learning other programming languages and technologies.
