In this module you'll make a start into wonderful world of programming. We will be using the programming language `JavaScript` to do this. You'll learn about the basic buildings of programming: `loops, functions, control flow and more. Consider these as the ABC's of programming, without them it's impossible to write working software!

While we're using JavaScript to illustrate these concepts, it's important to keep in mind that what you will learn is applicable to **any** programming language. They might differ in syntax (a fancy way of saying the way the arrangement of words in a language in order for it to make sense), but the functionality will be the same: a loop will always be a loop.
