Learn the JavaScript that you need to get the job done.
JavaScript is everywhere, and it can at times be hard to understand where the JavaScript starts and the frameworks begin. It's also tricky to understand differences between the browser and the server and how pre-processing works. The good news is that the actual surface area of JavaScript is fairly small. The course will introduce students to the ecosystem and provide context about how everything fits together.
Whether you're a seasoned engineer with a background in a different language or a newcomer to programming, this course will introduce you to the features of modern JavaScript from the ground up.
