Starting with an empty computer screen for a coder can be as intimidating as a bare canvas to a painter or a blank sheet of paper to a writer. Where do you start? If you know what you are trying to build, then you just pick something and start to write that code. As you write, you realize certain constructs such as loops will prove useful. Adjust and add features gradually eventually building into the final product. Before you know it, you are on your way to coding your first completed Javascript program.
