# Lesson #1 - JavaScript Basics
We understand how our programs will logically flow, now it's time to get into the nitty-gritty of coding JavaScript.
We're going to hit the ground running in class, so it's important that you come into the class with a good foundation on which to build.
codeacademy is a great resource for people looking to learn all sorts of code. We'll be going through the first few lessons of their JavaScript course to build that foundation that we're looking for.
Assignment
Go to codeacademy's Introduction to JavaScript course.
Sign up, and complete the first 3 modules. Don't worry about completing the tasks that require a Pro membership. Just completing the interactive lessons in each module will give you a base that we'll use to build you into a rockstar developer!
If you wish to go beyond the required modules, go on with your bad self, but don't feel like it's necessary.
