What is JavaScript
JavaScript is one of the most popular and widely used programming languages in the world right now. It is growing faster than any other programming language and big companies like Netflix, Walmart, and PayPal build entire applications around JavaScript.
And here is the average salary of a JavaScript developer in the United States. That is $72,000 per year according to glassdoor.com.
So, it is a great opportunity to get a good job out of learning JavaScript. You can work as a front-end developer, a back-end developer or a full stack developer who knows both the front end and the back end.
Now the second question.

This days, you can build full-blown web or mobile apps, as well as real time networking applications like chat and video streaming services, command-line tools, or even games. Here is an example:
