Course Information
Course Overview
Understand the JavaScript language itself, Node.js, MongoDB, The Web Browser and More To Create Meaningful Applications
Learn the incredibly popular and in demand JavaScript language. This course makes no assumptions of prior computer programming experience. We begin with the very basics and slowly but surely work our way up to writing JavaScript code to power every aspect of an application.
There are countless JavaScript courses in the world; here's what makes this one unique:
A strong emphasis on the "why" and not just the "how"
As few assumptions as possible; it's a pet peeve of mine when instructors assume I know something I don't
As few "just download my existing project to get you up and running" moments as possible. It's another pet peeve of mine when instructors have you use an existing solution that just "automagically" works and you miss a potential learning experience of setting it up yourself. We do copy-and-paste HTML templates (since the focus of the course is not about HTML) but aside from that I explain things from the ground up.
Here's what we'll learn in the course:
The JavaScript language itself
The Web Browser Environment
The Node.js environment
The MongoDB environment
The Express framework for creating servers
User registration & user-generated content
Authentication (both stateful with sessions and stateless with JSON Web Tokens)
... and much more!
I encourage you to watch the freely available first lesson titled "Where Do We Begin?" to get a better feel for the course.
This course may be brand new, but this isn’t my first time teaching. I’ve led training sessions for Fortune 500 companies and I’ve already helped over 65,000 people on Udemy and received the following feedback:
"Brad definitely has some of the best techniques to embed the lesson into your mind… hands down these are the best tutorials I have had the opportunity to view."
"Presentation is concise without being tedious… you honestly feel that you have a thorough understanding of the subject."
"…[Brad] explained the process. Not memorize this or that, he explained the process. If you're looking to take a course to understand the foundations of creating websites, look no further."
Become highly valuable and relevant to the companies that are hiring JavaScript developers; in one convenient place alongside one instructor. If you're ready to begin coding your own applications from the ground up - I'll see you on the inside!

The course was very close to what I wanted/needed. It was good to see how a full stack JavaScript project works.

This is my third course with Brad, and I’ve really enjoyed it! His teaching style is super clear and easy to follow, which makes learning a lot more fun. I picked up a ton of useful stuff, and even though some of the syntax is a bit "old", the concepts are still totally relevant. Brad also added a few lessons showing how to use more modern approaches, which I actually found after I’d already updated my own code. For example, he mostly uses CommonJS in the course, but I switched everything to ESM myself — and it turned out to be a really fun challenge. I definitely recommend this course (and Brad’s other ones too). He’s a great teacher — thanks again, Brad!

love how simple and clear he makes this for a non-programmer. very good communicator. loves the way he uses the english language as an example of how to code in the various environments. that was great.
