Description

Javascript runs the web.

It makes your website come alive.

If you want to create magic with your websites or web apps, then you need Javascript. Period.

In this course, we hope to break down the beginner concepts of the Javascript programming language into manageable parts so you can learn them fast and retain the concepts much longer.

This course will be useful for both beginners to the world of programming and programmers who already know other programming languages.

We’ll be teaching you the latest version of Javascript (ECMAScript 2015 and above).

Every concept is taught through a wealth of over-the-shoulder examples so you understand the concepts better.

How is this course designed?

Our course has 12 modules, where each module will thoroughly explain the intricacies of one of the concepts in Javascript (the Modern version) with a wealth of over-the-shoulder examples.

Here are the modules:

Module 1 – Getting started with Javascript – This is the foundations module. We’ll look into what setting up your Javascript coding environment, using consoles for bug detection, comments, getting basic outputs and so much more.

Module 2 – Variables, data types, type conversion and more – In this module, you’ll learn how to create information storage spaces (variables), the different data types available and how to work with them.

Module 3 – Operators – In this module, we’ll look into the various operators available in Javascript, using them to manipulate numbers, strings and booleans and more.

Module 4 – String and string methods – In this module, you’ll learn how to create strings, how and when to use backticks, the various pre-defined string methods available to you and their uses.

Module 5 – Number and number methods – In this module, you’ll learn about creating numbers in Javascript and using the various pre-defined number methods to manipulate them.

Module 6 – Conditional statements and loops – In this module, you’ll learn how to create conditions with if and switch statements and using for, while and do while loops to repeat the same lines of code multiple times (based on given conditions).

Module 7 – Arrays – In this module, you’ll learn how to create arrays and store more than one value (of different types) in them, how to retrieve those values, manipulate them with pre-defined array methods, use 2D arrays and so much more.

Module 8 – Date, date methods & Math object – In this module, you’ll learn how to create and use the date object and use the math object to perform various math operations.

Module 9 – Functions – In this module, you’ll learn how to create user-defined functions in Javascript (including anonymous functions, return, this & self-invoking functions).

Module 10 – Objects (Basics) – In this module, you’ll learn the basics of Object Oriented Javascript (Creating objects, their properties and methods and manipulating them).

Module 11 – Document Object Model (DOM) – In this module, you’ll learn about the DOM, how it works, how to use it to manipulate the elements in your websites and make it come alive using event handlers.

Module 12: We also cover a lot of examples, puzzles and real world projects (which are constantly updated):

For now, our course covers the following puzzles to gently nudge you into applying your theoretical Javascript knowledge in real world problem solving:

1. Puzzle #1 – Alternate small and capital letters in a given string

2. Puzzle #2 – Find the compound interest

Why should you choose our course?

1. We like to be thorough in our teaching. Every beginner topic covered in this course will cover everything you need to know about that particular topic. You won’t have to look anywhere else.

2. We strongly advocate learning by doing, rather than just listening or reading. Our lectures are filled with a wealth of examples that explain every concept clearly.

3. If you follow along with our examples in our over-the-shoulder trainings, and create our examples with us, you’ll have a thorough understanding of what Javascript is, and how to apply it to create magic in your websites. You’ll be able to confidently add this as a skill in your resume.

4. We prefer creating fun projects to explain the concepts and to keep things interesting as well. You’ll learn how to apply the concepts you learn in the course in the real world projects and examples.

So, what are you waiting for? Enroll now and start creating magic in your websites with Javascript in no time at all!
