Hello there! Perhaps you haven't realize it yet but you already know the basics of programming: you can declare functions and procedures, use variables, make decisions using the control structure "if", perform tasks multiple times.

However, in "real" programs we hardly ever use boards and color stones: coding goes further than that. How is it like to live outside the board?

In order to answer this question we will get inside the world of Javascript, a very popular language that doesn't have a board. But don't worry! you can still make use of everything you've learned so far and discover new ways to solve problems.
