Learn/refresh your Javascript skills

The goal of this assignment is to learn enough javascript that you can understand and create the code behind interactive prototypes.

Originally javascript was designed to add interactivity and data processing capability to web sites. Increasingly it is being improved such that it is a full-fledged programming language. It is used in the Unity game engine as a native scripting language and it is used in non-interactive applications and back-end webservers such is in Node.js
