## Prerequisites

This workshop assumes **no prior programming experience**. You'll learn
JavaScript from the very beginning.

However, you should be comfortable with:

- Using a computer and navigating files/folders
- Using a text editor or IDE (we recommend [VS Code][vscode])
- Basic typing skills

## Pre-workshop Resources

Here are some optional resources to get you excited about JavaScript:

- [JavaScript on MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript) -
The definitive JavaScript reference
- [What is JavaScript?](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/What_is_JavaScript) -
A gentle introduction to what JavaScript is and why it matters

## System Requirements

- [git][git] v2.18 or greater
- [NodeJS][node] v18 or greater
- [npm][npm] v8 or greater

All of these must be available in your `PATH`. To verify things are set up
properly, you can run this:

```shell
git --version
node --version
npm --version
```

If you have trouble with any of these, learn more about the PATH environment
variable and how to fix it here for [windows][win-path] or
[mac/linux][mac-path].

## Setup

Use the Epic Workshop CLI to get this setup:

```sh nonumber
npx --yes epicshop@latest add beginner-javascript
```

If you experience errors here, please open [an issue][issue] with as many
details as you can offer.
