Description

Before diving into the intricacies of front-end frameworks, serverless architectures, or back-end development, it's important to understand the fundamental concepts of the modern JavaScript language. We'll show you everything you need to know to get up and running with proven object-oriented patterns so that you can confidently tackle your own real-world development projects. With coverage of everything from new syntax to working with classes, complex inheritance, dynamic typing, and data binding, this course is the complete primer for those looking to work with modern, production-ready JavaScript.
