Mod 3 Pre-Work

Instructional Pre-Work for Mod 3

Libraries and Frameworks

• What is a JavaScript framework? Watch this video.
• Why would we want to use a framework? Read this article.

There are a bunch of JavaScript frameworks out there to use. At Turing, we choose to teach React - it's one of the most popular frameworks out there. Actually, a lot of developers will call React a library, which it is...but it can also be described as a framework. It's a little confusing, but the lines are blurred for React. Let's just say that React is a library with some rules and conventions to follow.

Data Types

This document is intended to be an introduction to the data types that are utilized in JavaScript.

1. Numbers

• Integers are whole numbers, without decimals or fractional parts of numbers. (ex. 42, 78)
• Floats have a decimal and fractional parts. (ex. 1.23, 42.42)

2. Strings Strings must be inside quotes. Whether you use single or double quotes is up to you (and your team). Even numbers are strings, if they're inside quotes. (ex. "hello world")
3. Boolean A boolean is a variable that must resolve to true or false. (ex. var isToggled = true)
