Learn to Code in JavaScript

Introduction to JavaScript, the first step in web development.

JavaScript is the primary language used to develop interactive and dynamic front-end web applications. There are multiple web frameworks that use JavaScript (or TypeScript*) such as Angular, Vue, React, Ember, Knockout. This course is intended to teach you the most important features of the JavaScript language so that you can then move on to learning about web frameworks. Because JavaScript primarily lives (and is executed) in the browser, this course will also touch on web topics such as HTML and the Document Object Model (or DOM). In this course we'll talk about:

• Running a JavaScript program.

• HelloWorld

• Primitive data types

• Operators

• Strings

• Dates

• Arrays

• Conditionals

• Looping

• Objects

• Functions

• Classes and Modules

At the end of this course you will have a thorough understanding of the JavaScript language and you will have dipped your toe into connecting this to a web page.

I am truly excited to share my knowledge and my enthusiasm for developing software with you. Come on this journey and I will do my best to help you learn, enjoy, and finally become part of a community of developers who make this world go round!

This course comes with detailed explanations of each concept along with working examples for each lecture and a Verifiable Certificate of Completion.

* TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript and adds some important concepts but all TypeScript is compiled into JavaScript for execution.
