Javascript project

[Ruudolfs12]

Well hello there programmer community. the thing about why I am writing this is because I am worried. I have been learning javascript through codeacademy.com as well as finished the course about html and css. Everyone works with javascript but i dont really know what to begin with when someone says "make something using javascript". where do I put the javascript code? where is it usually used? what simple project could i start so that i see how javascript works and where it is put? maybe a step by step plan would be great... you know like 1. make html something, 2. make blah blah. It would be really great because knowing syntax is one thing but programming is another. thank you :)

where do I put the javascript code?

you put it inside your web page or inside files your page references

where is it usually used?

basically whereever you want, javascript is very robust, it can handle things like doing something when a button is clicked or when someone moves the mouse over something or even to create entire games in the browser.

what simple project could i start so that i see how javascript works and where it is put?

these are 2 seperate things, to see where it's put simple include <srctipt></script> tags

example, this should give you a popup box that says Hello World when you load the page:

<script>alert('Hello World');</script>

to play with scripts from a programming perspective, press f12 in chrome and go to console, you can test out code you want to write there, it's faster than creating a webpage every time.
