Other notes: Syntax issues: � Notepad – sometimes the quotes get messed up “Hello World” (copy into Notepad) vs. "Hello World" when copying , retype them. Eg. � Try to use Chrome and Notepad++ � I have syntax issues all the time, you need to be very careful

More notes There is more than one way to skin a cat! � Most of the time I am just going to show you one way to do something, there may be other ways, but we don’t have time to see every variation. � For example: var x; var y; x = 5; y = 6; var x, y; x = 5; y = 6; var x=5; var y=6; x = 5; y = 6;
