Delve into practical JavaScript skills, from basic concepts to integration with HTML/CSS, and discover its history and evolution in software development through hands-on exercises.

You can expect some beginner-friendly content in this course, along with some learning paths.
I strongly believe in practical application. Therefore, I will not bore you with facts, long theories, or rants about which parts of JavaScript I consider good or bad. This course is all about getting our hands dirty and understanding how JavaScript works inside out.
This highly practical course will start off from covering basic programming concepts in Javascript to introducing JavaScript with HTML and CSS.  In addition, you will also get an insight into JavaScript history and its growth in the Software World.

JavaScript in Practice: Getting Started

Suppose the following CSV data string is given. Parse the data such that you create an array of lines. Each line is an array of strings containing each data point once.

# Solution
First, note that there is a newline character before the first line and after the last line. We can get rid of these characters by trimming the string. 

We will then split the trimmed string into lines​ and then split the lines into fields separated by commas. Splitting the string into lines can be done by referencing the newline character `\n`.

Test your knowledge of the trim and split functions.
