Complete Guide to Modern JavaScript (The Course)
Course Info
This course includes 3 attempts.
Who is this course for?
This course is the interactive version of my 'Complete guide to Modern JavaScript' Ebook, available on Leanpub.
It is aimed to developer of every level, from beginner to advanced, who want to improve their JavaScript skills and get up to date with all the upgraded done to the language specification since 2015.
This course is not for total beginners, it does cover the basics of programming in general and albeit providing an introduction to JavaScript I would recommend that you take it only if you have at least a basic understanding of the language.
Why should you consider taking this course?
`JavaScript` has evolved a lot during the past years and the way we do things has changed quite a bit. This course aim is to provide you with all the tools you need to start writing code using the latest version of the language.
Each lesson will cover a new set of features and guide you through them with interactive examples and exercises to test your understanding.
At the end of the course you will also find an introduction to TypeScript, a must have knowledge for any `JavaScript` developer in 2022.
What will I be able to do at the end of the course?
At the end of the course you will be able to understand and use all of the new additions to `JavaScript` since 2015. Stay ahead of the game and practice new features that will come out next year.
If you work in a company that is still stuck using old ES5 code, you will be able to get yours and your colleague's skils up to speed and be able to refactor your code in a cleaner and more concise way.
Thank you very much for your attention and happy learning!
