Plan of the day: first steps in Javascript.

Core issues:

Javascript is a programming language, it can compute anything that's computable (by Turing machines)

JS will ANIMATE your pages: user interaction, adaptability, content-driven presentations will be possible.

To learn it requires 
i) an abstract idea of the computer

ii) great attention to the syntax of the commands: small variations can bring about catastrophic effects

w3schools is effective in showing you how to add JS to you presentations.

Follow the units of learning, do only the odd-numbered exercises, discuss errors of code variations with your lecturer
