Learn JavaScript
JavaScript is a scripting language that is mostly useful for web development. It can be run within a web browser to control and alter the display of a webpage, and to bring in additional data via AJAX. Modern JavaScript frameworks enable "single-page applications" that behave like dedicated apps as they avoid reloading the entire webpage and instead just retreive and send data as needed. In some instances JavaScript can be used on the server-side as well, for instance, in the case of Node.js.
