JavaScript Provides the Power to the WordPress Admin

JavaScript has become increasingly fundamental to the WordPress admin in recent releases and perhaps may become even more important. For us WordPress users, it is important to at least have a fundamental understanding of JavaScript.

Everything you do in the WordPress admin screens having an immediate affect will be done using JavaScript. This includes the following:

  • Creating and Editing Menus
  • Creating and Editing Widgets
  • Updating Plugins and Themes
  • Using the Customizer (Appearance > Customize)

Screenshot below is taken from the Appearance > Customize section of one of my websites that I am working on.

Thanks but I think I'll save this. I'm just not ready for it yet. I'm too new and am trying to cram too many other bits of information in my brain.
