Creating beautiful things with JavaScript can be easy, if you take if step by step, everything makes sense if you break it into individual parts. Let me show you how to take basic programming principles, functions, arrays and for loops, to create complex animated code bases. Once we fully understand the techniques we will take it to the next level.
