What you'll learn:
- Grasp how JavaScript works and it's fundamental concepts
- Write solid, good JavaScript code
- Understand advanced JavaScript concepts such as promises, async/await, closures, prototypal inheritance, IIFEs, classes, and much more.
- Drastically improve your ability to debug problems in JavaScript.
- Avoid common pitfalls and mistakes other JavaScript coders make
- Understand the source code of popular JavaScript frameworks
- Build your own JavaScript framework or library
JavaScript is the language that modern developers need to know, and know well. Truly knowing JavaScript will get you a job, and enable you to build quality web and server applications.
Over the past decade, tens of thousands of developers count this course as the course they always go back to year after year -- the one that finally helped them grasp JavaScript and move to the next level in their web development career. Many students are now senior developers, business owners, managers, and educators!
In this course you will gain a deep understanding of JavaScript, learn how JavaScript works under the hood, and how that knowledge helps you avoid common pitfalls and drastically improve your ability to debug problems. You will find clarity in the parts that others, even experienced coders, may find weird, odd, and at times incomprehensible. You'll learn the beauty and deceptive power of this language that is at the forefront of modern software development today.
This is the original course that taught web developers the concepts of the execution context and execution stack, critical concepts to mentally grasp how JavaScript works and how you code in it.
This course will cover such advanced concepts as objects and object literals, function expressions, function objects, prototypical inheritance, functional programming, scope chains, block scoping, classes, immediately invoked function expressions (IIFEs), call, apply, bind, promises, async, await and more.
We'll take a deep dive into the source code of popular frameworks to see how you can use your understanding of JavaScript to learn (and borrow) from other's good code.
Finally, you'll learn the foundations of how to build your own JavaScript framework or library.
What you'll learn in this course will make you a better JavaScript developer, and improve your abilities in React, Node.js, Next.js, Angular, Vue, MongoDB, and all other Javascript-based technologies!
Learn to love JavaScript, and code in it well.
Note: In this course you'll also get downloadable source code. You will often be provided with 'starter' code, giving you the base for you to start writing your code, and 'finished' code to compare your code to.
