Description
Javascript is the language of the web. So if you want to become a web developer, Javascript is a must learn language. This is an in-depth course which teaches seemingly difficult concepts like functional programming in a easy to understand way. Along the course, we also compare Javascript with other languages like Java, so that people having some experience with a language like C, Java or C#, which are statically typed languages, can easily understand how to write good Javascript programs.
Javascript has been notorious when it comes to finding bugs in the program. This course also talks about some pitfalls in the language which should be avoided, so that you have a much easier time writing code and debugging in this language.
Who this course is for:
- This course is meant for students who want to learn JavaScript from scratch or want to improve their skills if they are already familiar with the language. The course also covers how to do functional style of programming, which is a very interesting paradigm and getting popular to write robust, maintainable and bug free code. This course is not for those who consider themselves an expert in the language (people who can look at source code of frameworks like jquery/AngularJS etc. and easily understand it)
