title: Pure JavaScript Programming
body: <p>I'm diving into web development again (first time was an utter failure), and I have some pretty spectacular resources for learning both HTML5 and CSS3. What I want to begin studying next is JavaScript so I can have absolute control over my pages. But before I begin integrating JavaScript into my work, I'd like to use JavaScript solely as a programming language (with console I/O and basic programs) to familiarize myself first. What are the best tools for accomplishing this? Because thus far, I haven't found any browser/tool that approaches the simplicity of writing a source file, and clicking run like you might with a C++ program. Thanks.</p>
