This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals and advanced concepts of JavaScript, one of the most popular and widely used programming languages in the web development. By the end of this course, you will be able to write, test, debug, and deploy JavaScript code for various applications and scenarios.
To take this course, you should have some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, as well as a code editor (such as Visual Studio Code) and a web browser (such as Chrome) installed on your computer. You should also be familiar with using the command line and Git for version control.
The course is divided into four modules, each covering a different aspect of JavaScript. Each module consists of several lessons, exercises, and projects that will help you practice and apply your skills. The modules are:
- Module 1: JavaScript Basics: This module covers the syntax, data types, operators, control structures, functions, and objects of JavaScript. You will learn how to declare variables, write expressions, use conditional statements, loops, arrays, and more. You will also learn how to create and use functions and objects, as well as how to work with the built-in objects of JavaScript.
- Module 2: JavaScript in the Browser: This module covers the Document Object Model (DOM), events, forms, and Ajax in JavaScript. You will learn how to manipulate the HTML elements and styles using JavaScript, how to handle user interactions with events and event listeners, how to validate and submit forms using JavaScript, and how to make asynchronous requests to servers using Ajax.
- Module 3: JavaScript Beyond the Basics: This module covers the advanced features and concepts of JavaScript, such as scope, closures, inheritance, prototypes, classes, modules, promises, async/await, generators, iterators, symbols, proxies, and more. You will learn how to write modular and reusable code using ES6 modules and classes, how to handle asynchronous operations using promises and async/await, how to use generators and iterators for lazy evaluation and iteration, how to use symbols and proxies for meta-programming, and more.
- Module 4: JavaScript Frameworks and Tools: This module covers some of the popular frameworks and tools that are used in modern web development with JavaScript. You will learn how to use frameworks such as React, Angular, Vue.js for creating dynamic user interfaces; Node.js for creating server-side applications; Express.js for creating web servers; MongoDB for storing data; Jest for testing; Webpack for bundling; Babel for transpiling; ESLint for linting; Prettier for formatting; and more.
The following resources are recommended for this course:
- MDN Web Docs: A comprehensive reference and guide for JavaScript and web development.
- JavaScript.info: A modern tutorial on JavaScript that covers everything from basics to advanced topics.
- Eloquent JavaScript: A book on JavaScript that teaches you how to write beautiful and effective code.
