Some basics

• JS in HTML. Including JavaScript in HTML with script element, with either src attribute or JS code.
• Variables. Declare variables with let and sometimes const.
  Though you will see the older var, but generally avoid that.
• Console is your friend. Your browser developer tools will be critical to use, and especially the "Console". Log to the console in JS with

  console.log('hello there!');

• When is the code executed?script in head or right before the body close tag - </body>
  But it is good practice to rely on specific events!
• Events - load, click, focus, blur, submit, mouseover, mouseout, keypress.
  HTML attributes are available, but don't use these. Add event listeners through JavaScript!
