Tech Tutorial: Learn to Program with JavaScript – Episode 28: Function Return

Being that our functions are designed to accomplish a unit of work, can take in data via arguments, and process that data and do work in the body of the function, it is also important that functions can return that manipulated data if necessary. The data returned by a function is called the function’s ‘return’ value.

In this video, we learn how to add code to return data from our basic function definitions.

Tech Tutorial: Learn to Program with JavaScript – Episode 27: Function Body

The code that accomplishes the unit of work within our functions is located in what is called the function body. The function body encapsulates this code and provides it with an environment to be executed in.

In this video, we learn how to add code to the body of our basic function definitions.

Tech Tutorial: Learn to Program with JavaScript – Episode 26: Function Arguments

Many times, when we write functions to encapsulate units of work that we plan on calling many times as our program executes, we need to pass data into that function to be manipulated. It is for this purpose that arguments can be used to pass data into functions.

In this video, we learn how to add arguments to our basic function definitions.

Tech Tutorial: Learn to Program with JavaScript – Episode 25: Basic Function Definition Syntax

As we begin to learn to program, we often write code that is very procedural, that is it usually runs from top to bottom and executes very linearly. This is because we are used to writing English papers or reading books, all of which are extremely linear in nature.

Programming on the other hand is non-linear in that the code we write usually focuses on accomplishing a specific unit of work and that unit of work is often done many times over the life of our executing program. It is for this very reason that the designers of JavaScript created what are called ‘functions’. Functions are structures that allow developers to encapsulate code into specific units of work that can be called over and over again to accomplish work.

In this video, we learn about the basic syntax used to define functions within our code.

Tech Tutorial: Learn to Program with JavaScript – Episode 24: Removing Elements from the DOM

Because JavaScript was created to make HTML documents more dynamic and user friendly, it requires the ability to manipulate the HTML document. This is accomplished through a virtual representation of the HTML document’s structure called the document object model or DOM.

In this video, we learn how to remove existing HTML elements from the DOM.

Tech Tutorial: Learn to Program with JavaScript – Episode 23: Adding Elements to the DOM

Because JavaScript was created to make HTML documents more dynamic and user friendly, it requires the ability to manipulate the HTML document. This is accomplished through a virtual representation of the HTML document’s structure called the document object model or DOM.

In this video, we learn how to add new HTML elements to the DOM.
