A variable in JavaScript is used to a store data value that may be changed later on. It is essentially a name of storage location. There are two types of variables in JavaScript, and those include; local variable and global variable.

Three rules to follow when declaring a JavaScript variable:

1. Name must start with a letter (a-z or A-Z), underscore( _ ), or dollar( $ ) sign.
2. After the first letter, use digits (0-9) 
3. JavaScript variables are case sensitive (i.e: a and A are different variables because one is lowercase, and the other is uppercase)

A local variable in JavaScript is declared within a block or function, and is only accessible within that function or block. 

A global variable in JavaScript is accessible from any function.

You can declare a variable in JavaScript using “var“, “const“, or “let“.

Derek and Sean are both entering the job market after college. They both apply for the same job at your company.

For the sake of this illustration, lets say that their personal characters are identical. Both were dedicated students and graduated top of their class. Both made sure college wasn’t all work; they both incorporated a fair amount of fun into their experience as well. But overall, both are hardworking, dedicated individuals that would make great employees. 

They have just one difference. One of them was looking ahead and cultivating a pristine digital identity while the other one only started paying attention to that recently. 

Here is what you find when you look up their digital identities. Who are you going to hire?

Salesforce is a cloud based customer relationship management (CRM) program. A CRM’s purpose is pretty straight forward: they manage a business’s relationship with its customers. But Salesforce has some other features that go beyond what a typical CRM does. First, traditional CRM’s were generally built in house, meaning they were built specifically for the company in question. But Salesforce successfully implemented cloud based CRM back when cloud computing was considered a “fad.” They also incorporated the ability to customize their CRM experience to suit each individual business. With this feature you can do some of the things we got to see in Max Labs, like developing apps and automated tasks. So Salesforce is a CRM but it was designed in a way that it’s beneficial to many businesses straight out of the box and that’s what makes it unique.

A digital Identity refers to the body of information about an external agent that exists online. The external agent could be a person, an organization, an application, or even a device. Digital identities are distinguished by computer systems through the detection of unique patterns and other identifiers. Social media and other online services use these unique patterns to connect you to your digital identity. Unique patterns and other identifiers are determined through the entire collection of information generated by a person’s online activity. This would include usernames and passwords, online search activities, birth date, social security, and purchasing history. Digital identity is especially determined by information that is publicly available and not anonymized. Because of this, digital identity can very well be considered a facet of someone’s entire social identity. It is a consequence of the increasing use of computers, and the need to provide computers with information that can be used to identify external agents.
