Setting up the development environment for contributing to a Javascript project

[!!! This is in active development. Don't trust it... yet ;)]

This is a tutorial to help people get up and running with their Javascript development environment so that they can collaborate with me on projects. If you have no Javascript experience, consider starting with the Javascript language tutorial at W3 Schools.
