Software is eating the world, the web is eating software, and JavaScript rules the web. Learn why JavaScript’s distinctive features make it well suited to its position as the most popular programming language in the world.

JavaScript popularized two paradigms in mainstream programming that I collectively call “The Two Pillars of JavaScript”: Prototypal OO and Functional programming.

The two pillars are essential concepts to learn because they’re widely used in industry leading apps from companies like Facebook, NetFlix, Instagram, PayPal, and Microsoft. Why not put them to work for you, too?
