Summing Up

In this chapter you learned about:

  • Text editors, the place where computer programs are created
  • Project directories to keep your program organized
  • HTML and JavaScript, and how they work together
  • Small iterations for finding problems early
  • Variables and escape characters

Oh, and you built a real, functioning program. Then you turned that program into a Chrome Extension that actually changes Facebook.com. Just think, 40 minutes ago, you didn’t even know what a variable was. You should be proud—and probably a bit tired. Now might be a good time for a break.

In the next chapter (after your break), you will learn about:

  • How software works
  • Compiled software
  • Interpreted software
  • Input and output
  • Memory and variables
