Kick off the JavaScript in the Browser series with a deep dive into how the browser actually works 🖥️✨.
In this video, we’ll:
🌳 Unpack the DOM — the tree of nodes that brings your HTML to life
🎨 Explore how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all connect through the DOM
📄 Meet the powerful document object — your entry point to everything on the page
🪟 Understand the difference between the DOM and the BOM (Browser Object Model)
🔍 Learn how to inspect and manipulate the DOM using dev tools like a pro
We’ll also set the stage for the whole series: 👉 introducing the GitHub repo 📂, how the skeleton code works, and what tools we’ll be using (WebStorm + Chrome).
⚡ By the end, you’ll see the web in a whole new way and be ready to start bending the browser to your will!
