I am new to bitcoin programming. I am using Java Script and need pointers to help me develop code for following:
- Create a bitcoin address
- Send bitcoin from one account to another
- Get balance for a bitcoin account.
I will really appreciate any help or any pointers in this regard.

Hello Jessica, i'm a bitcoin coder, i have work in some big projects and learned a lot on the way. What you want to do could be done by 2 ways.
1.-Get an API from a service who rune a bitcoin node, i'm not sure but i think blockchain.info have an API. That wayyou will be able to do those 3 things
2.-(The pro way) install bitcoin core and use a wrapper to call core commands from JS.
Look at this nice tool, for sure will help you https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitcoin-core
With this tool and JS you can make calls like
Quote
client.createRawTransaction([{ txid: '1eb590cd06127f78bf38ab4140c4cdce56ad9eb8886999eb898ddf4d3b28a91d', vout: 0 }], { 'mgnucj8nYqdrPFh2JfZSB1NmUThUGnmsqe': 0.13 });
client.sendMany('test1', { mjSk1Ny9spzU2fouzYgLqGUD8U41iR35QN: 0.1, mgnucj8nYqdrPFh2JfZSB1NmUThUGnmsqe: 0.2 }, 6, 'Example Transaction');
client.sendToAddress('mmXgiR6KAhZCyQ8ndr2BCfEq1wNG2UnyG6', 0.1, 'sendtoaddress example', 'Nemo From Example.com');
const balance = await new Client().getBalance('*', 0);
