Title: Welcome to Week 2
Course: Fall 2023 - WEBD 164 (41934)

This week is an important week as we delve further into variables and window objects.

These are the stepping stones of JavaScript. Everything we do in modern web development is predicated around storing things. I want you to think of variables like a shoe box. Variables are the simplest form of storage. What you put in the shoe box is the value of a variable. The name of the variable is how you get your shoes. You might have nike, puma, asics, adidas or if you're awesome like me...skechers.

To put your shoes in the box, you use an equals sign (=) also known as an assignment operator.

Do me a favor. Open  the Chrome browser.

Click the 3 dots in upper right of the browser window.

Select more tools.

Select Developer Tools from the dropdown menu that opens up.

When the developer tools window opens, select console.

Copy and paste the following in the console

skechers = "Kris Secor's shoes are awesome. He's not old at all, just fashionable";

alert(skechers);

Then think about what happened.
