In this section, you'll learn about some software that you might find very useful as you start your professional development journey.
A **development environment** is a unique set of tools and features that a developer will use often when writing software. Some of these tools have been customized for a developer specific needs, and may change over time if a developer changes priorities in work or personal projects, or when they use a different programming language. Development environments are as unique as the developers who use them.
This lesson covers the basics of JavaScript, the language that provides interactivity on the web.

## Arrays
Working with data is a common task for any language, and it's a much easier task when data is organized in a structural format, such as arrays. With arrays, data is stored in a structure similar to a list. One major benefit of arrays is that you can store different types of data in one array.
