Description
Hey gang, and welcome to your first step on the path to becoming a JavaScript ninja! In this course I'll be teaching you my absolute favourite language (JavaScript!) from the very beginning, right through to creating fully-fledged, dynamic & interactive web experiences.
We'll cover all the basics to get you up-and-running quickly, before diving in to some of the really fun stuff like web-page manipulation, creating interactive forms, popups & other cool effects. Along the way we'll be using the latest additions to the JavaScript specification (ES6, 7 & beyond) and maintaining good coding standards to keep our code clean and effective!
Once we master the basics, we'll dive into several real-life JavaScript projects, including an interactive quiz, a weather app, a real-time chat application and a small UI library you can use in all your future projects!
We'll also take a look at some more advanced topics - object oriented programming, asynchronous code, real-time databases using Firebase (including a new chapter about Firebase 9) and much more. Finally, we'll be setting up a modern work-flow using Webpack & Babel, so that by the end of this course you'll be no less than a black-belt JavaScript developer with a lot of coding techniques in your tool-belt.
Speaking of ninjas, I'm also known as The Net Ninja on YouTube, where you'll find hundreds of free coding tutorials, so feel free to pop by to say hello :).
Who this course is for:
- New or junior developers who want to learn JavaScript from the ground up
- Front-end developers who want to level-up their JavaScript knowledge using modern, cutting-edge techniques
- Back-end developers who want to learn the JavaScript language for front-end development

A Little About Me...
Hey gang, my name's Shaun and since a young age I've had an obsession for nearly anything tech-related. I've been coding since about the age of 15 (half of my life, now...phew!) and work as a full-stack web developer and online instructor.
I also run a well-known development tutorial YouTube channel called The Net Ninja with nearly 1 million subscribers. So feel free to browse some of my latest free tutorials on there if you want to check out my teaching style :).
My specialities mainly gravitate around one central language (and my first love) - JavaScript. I've been programming with it for around 12 years and - as with any long-term relationship - have had the pleasure of seeing it's ugly side as well as it's beautiful side. So I know the pitfalls to avoid when using it, and pass these on when appropriate in my tutorials.
As well as teaching, I've also helped to create many very popular, UK-based eCommerce websites, as well as a large amount of smaller, independent websites as well.
Other languages & technologies I use and teach are - Node.js, Vue, React, Python, Ruby, PHP, HTML & CSS.
