Description
We're gonna bash some bugs.
We all know it: JavaScript is weird. Web development in general is riddled with bugs. Over 55% of developers say they spend 10-20 hours a week fixing bugs instead of writing new code. While this may seem like an inordinate amount of time, it is often the case that the biggest moments of learning arise from the time spent fixing bugs.
That's why I've put together this 13-lesson video mini-course that will feature an assortment of HTML, CSS, and JS bugs. You'll have both the opportunity to solve them on your own or simply watch how we can debug them together. We'll look at common bugs, uncommon bugs, and even some incredibly tricky JavaScript quirks!
What's included:
13 short video lessons, each investigating a different bug
Debug a wide array of HTML, CSS, and JS bugs
Difficulty ranges from easy to downright diabolical
Mock "GemWizard" ecommerce website infested with bugs to bash
Follow along with a cloned version of the site's repo or just watch!
By the time you've finished the course, I'm sure you will have learned something you didn't know before. ?

Hi! I'm Bill Coloe, and you might have seen me on TikTok, Twitter, or on my blog. I started my development career in 2013, first learning a little Ruby on Rails before going all in on JavaScript. I've had the pleasure of working as a 3rd party Front-End Developer for a digital optimization agency, developing client-side AB tests for Fortune 500 websites.
Since so much of my work has been developing outside the context of a client's source code, I've developed a knack for understanding what's under the hood of websites and have become more skilled in how to debug front-end applications. I hope the techniques and practice this course provides will prove beneficial to your skillset and career!
