Set up Visual Studio Code by opening the project folder and creating folders. Enable auto save after delay, turn on word wrap, and disable compact folders for clear navigation.
Explore how VS Code extensions support beginner JavaScript learners with hints, code suggestions, error highlighting, ES6 code snippets, themes, and Live Share for real-time collaboration.
Master JavaScript strings, sequences of characters in quotes, to store and manipulate text. Use to uppercase, to lowercase, concat, slice, and the length property to size strings.
Explore how JavaScript handles numbers, the single number type, and how strings convert to numbers using Parseint or the number function. Learn about floating point precision, exponents, and modulus.
Learn how booleans function as the binary true or false data type that drives decision making, loops, and conditional logic in JavaScript.
Explore functions as blocks of code that execute when called, with or without parameters, and learn how to return values and call them from anywhere.
Create two dice roll variables for player one and player two using a prior random number function, then compare rolls with if/else to declare a winner or a draw.
Explore JavaScript scope across global, block, and functional scopes; see how hoisting affects access, and practice debugging scope by inspecting where variables are defined.
Learn to build an input/output passphrase challenge using an asynchronous loop, prompting for a passphrase until correct, with success and retry messages.
Explore solving a field trip bus problem in JavaScript by creating two functions that calculate large (40-seat) and small (20-seat) buses using Math.floor, modulus, and ceiling.
Explore accessing elements in arrays, including nested arrays, with zero-based indexing and bracket notation; learn about mixed data types and level-by-level access via console log.
Hello, my name is Rob. I've been teaching at Coding Boot Camp for the past four years and I decided to create this coursework to help people that are going to be going through a Boot Camp. you'll notice that the course material is not as robust as other courses that you might find on Udemy, however, the goal of this course is to give you the basic fundamentals of JavaScript, to help you continue your learning experience. We did want to make this course small and bite-size so that way you're not getting overwhelmed with a bunch of other learning material aids. Of course we could've put react and node JS in here, but we wanted to focus on the basics.
What makes this course different than others is we work off of the cycle of LEARN a new javascript topic, we give you a CHALLENGE to test your learning with walk-through solution. We repeat this process to ensure you are ready for the 3 final projects that you will be creating in this course. Learn - Challenge - Repeat is going to be your friend and learning this material.
Other video courses just show you the introduction of the material but fail to give you a challenge prompt to test you on that knowledge. This course is meant for you too, go through the modules in chronological order the way that they are presented to you. Again, each module builds upon itself so you need to go through it in that order.
This course goes through the very basics from learning how to comment your code. You're going to learn about variables. You're going to learn about data types. After data types, we introduce conditional logic and then we follow that up with functions. The last thing that you're going to learn, in this course is arrays and objects.
We have three major challenges that are spread throughout this course for you to test yourself on what you have learned. Those challenges are creating a roll of dice game, printing, a laundromat receipt, based on what was ordered, and a game of pick-up sticks. All of these are done in the consul so we don't really have to worry about any HTML or CSS.
Who is this course for? It's for those who want to learn the fundamentals of JavaScript in a structured format going over the baby steps first.
If you're thinking about going through a Boot Camp, then I would highly recommend that you go through this course first to give you an idea on what you're about to go through.
Get Exposure to Code Early
Be ahead of your peers
Start thinking like a programmer
And if you're not currently enrolled in a Boot Camp, then this would be a great course for you to test the waters to see if it is something that you are interested in.
