Is JavaScript purely used for webdesign?

Hi,

Hope you are doing amazing.

I started programming about 2 months ago with the front end development path and I have really been enjoying the JavaScript classes, but unfortunately not the CSS side of it. I have been recently debating about learning programming more in depth so that one day I might start a career in the field, but I was wondering if this language is purely used for web-design? If I don't like the design aspect of it should I be learning something else instead? I genuinely like the logical side of things, if that makes sense. I would appreciate your advice.

All the best.

Hi Andre Graca,

Javascript is not used for designing but it helps in creating interaction in your design elements like clicking on play button to play music/video. Javascript can be used to create full stack scalable web application.

You can use Node frameworks like Express, Fastify and loopback, etc. for creating backend of your application which is responsible for handing data coming from user login to authenticate user or data coming from signup form to create new user and store that in Database.

For frontend, you can use HTML,CSS or Vanilla JS for creating web application but there are few frameworks and library also available to create the frontend process more smooth.

You can also develop native mobile applications using React Native which is a framework of JS.

JS allow you to build anything you want from web to mobile application or games as well.

Hope it will help. If you still have some query just ask.

Thanks,
