JavaScript For Cats: An Introduction For New Programmers

by Max Ogden

JavaScript is a programming language or, in other words, a means by which a computer is instructed to do things. Just the same as one controls humans with hisses and meows, one controls computers with statements written in a programming language. All web browsers understand JavaScript and you can take advantage of that to make web pages do crazy things!

JavaScript started as a way to make web pages more interactive. Nowadays JavaScript runs in more places than just web browsers — it runs on web servers, phones and even robots! This page will teach you some JavaScript basics so that you can get up and running in no time. (Actual time: more than none. Probably an hour or two. Also since you are a cat you are less likely to run and more likely to lay around in the sun).

Really quirky, clear introduction into some core concepts of Javascript.
Not boring - very insightful, clear and fun too!
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and highly recommend to anyone wanting to dive into JS programming.

Funny and easy to read.

JavaScript doesn't have a sleep function. Since you are a cat you are probably asking yourself, "Why am I learning a programming language that does not involve sleeping?".

My only complaint is that I want more. This was a good and light hearted intro to JavaScript but really didn’t cover a whole lot.. I’d like some fun project walk through a or more stuff please.

It’s amazing that things like this are free and open source though
