Intro to JavaScript

This afternoon I gave a very short introduction to computer programming at Trade School. I focused on JavaScript as a language to start with, mainly because there's essentially nothing to install and there are many practical uses to knowing a little JS.

There are four main things here:

• intro-to-javascript.key - my original Keynote slides (probably needs Vista Slab font to look right)
• hello-world.html - exactly what it sounds like
• hide-content.html - a simple MooTools fade example
• slide-show.html - a more fully-fledged slide show example
