Getting Started with JavaScript

The first thing we need to do, is install a piece of software called a web browser. A web browser lets us view websites that we create in this course.

The most popular web browser for web development is Google Chrome. So, I recommend using that.

If you don't have Google Chrome, you can open a default web browser on your computer. For Windows, it is Microsoft Edge, and for Mac it is Safari.

Once we have installed Chrome, we are ready to begin.

Happy Coding!
