Course Overview
Learning the JavaScript framework is good and cleaner JavaScript is even better
Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of World Wide Web content production. You can write terrible code in any language, but if you wanted to try to write terrible code that works, JavaScript would be your language of choice.
In this course, you will learn various concepts and techniques, essential principles, patterns, and practices for writing clean code in JavaScript. You will be introduced to some general guidelines on how to better structure your JavaScript code. You will then learn about clean code best practices while working with variables, functions objects, and the latest ES6 classes. Next, you will discover functional programming, how to write pure functions, and how to use built-in functional methods. You will then move on to modular JavaScript and explore the various ways you can structure your modules. After that, you will master various design patterns and programming principles. Unit testing is very important and you will learn to do this with Jasmine and Karma, to make handling errors easy.
By the end of the course, you will have learned to learn clean coding with functional programming, explored various modules in JavaScript, and designed patterns and principles. Overall you will learn to write better code with improved readability.

This was a great course for intermediate javascript programmers. The principles of the SOLID methodology and introductions to patterns were great. I would love the addition of strategies such as the Controller-Model-View pattern to the course. I would also love a further reading note for more advanced concepts, other patterns that you didn't mention and so on. Overall a stellar course. Good work!

I thought this course was awesome. The content was exactly what I was looking for and needing, the examples were straight to the point and simple enough to get the concept yet complex enough to answer different questions about the area being taught. I also like the overall length of this course...not too long and bloated with unnecessary information where I never end up finishing. Thank you!

I learned a lot and really loved it. Very nice and to the point introduction sections. Cool real life examples. Nice video editing, code in a clear font, instructor voice pretty clear, very well organized. I would have like it to be longer, the quality of the examples and explanations leave you wanting for more, because then you get other courses to try to learn some more but the info you get is not great as it is here. So yea, 5 stars, good job.
