Description
In only seven hours you will learn enough JavaScript to transform from a junior javascript developer into a senior javascript guru.
You will dramatically improve your chances of getting past a technical interview, landing that dream job and earning more money.
If you are like me you learnt Javascript by just muddling along, seeing what works and learning a thing or two every day.
However, without a grasp of the deeper fundamentals, you will hit quite a few head scratchy issues, introduce bugs, find it hard to read and understand framework and library code and won’t be considered a senior developer.
This unique course teaches you advanced javascript knowledge through a series of interview questions, with regular quizzes on the way through to cement your knowledge.
What are you going to learn?
Types & Equality: The different types in JS and how to check if two values are really equal?
Scopes: The different scopes a variable can be declared in and how to manipulate those scopes.
Destructuring & Looping: Did you know that JavaScript has for methods of looping over things?
This: We have a whole section dedicated to the this keyword. A deep understanding of the this keyword is core to becoming a senior JavaScript developer.
Object Orientation: The history of OO in JavaScript from the Prototype Pattern to the Pseudo-Classical/Constructor Pattern all the way to the class syntax introduced in ES6. You need to know the previous patterns to truly understand the current class pattern.
Asynchronous Programming: JavaScript power is in its asynchronicity, you will learn all about the pros and cons of callbacks, promises and async/await.
Advanced topics in Networking such as CORS and JSONP.
Advanced topics in Event Handling such as the different event phases.
Why an interview format?
I find that it's only when I'm facing an upcoming interview that I get into gear and really make sure I have a deep understanding of what I claim to know.
I might know the best practice for how to solve a problem, but do I know why?
Javascript interviews are designed to dig deeper into your knowledge of a subject, see if you are just mimicking what you have read or if you have a proper understanding.
Also, it's FUN, what's more satisfying than learning something, then passing a test!
Who this course is for:
- Maybe your a JS developer looking to change jobs and isn’t looking forward to the interview, I mean who does?
- Maybe it’s been a while since you wrote JS and you want to get a refresher on the latest features.
- Maybe you just finished another Beginner or Intermediate JavaScript course and want to get to the next level
- Just about to enter the job market after a career change
- New graduates coming out of university

# What do I believe?
- I believe as a developer at it's heart, your job is to make the lives of other people more productive, that's what computing is all about.
- So if you yourself are not 100% focussed on making your own development as productive as possible then it doesn't bode well for your clients.
# What are my values?
- I'm 100% focused on practical development skills.
- I don't waste peoples time.
- I value my time and I value yours.
- I'm driven to be the most productive developer I can possibly be. I don't get caught up in philosophical debates.
- I believe in learning from first principles.
If those are your values as well them you will love my courses.
