Course content

7 sections • 23 lectures • 4h 24m total length

JavaScript Introduction7:44
Explore why JavaScript powers the web, from scripts and browser engines like V8 to browser and server use, safety limits, and languages that convert to JavaScript such as TypeScript.
My Introduction1:12
Meet a senior full-stack developer who demystifies object oriented programming, classes, and inheritance with real-life examples, guiding you one practical, friendly step at a time toward coding mastery.
Manuals and Specifications1:46
Learn the essentials of JavaScript manuals and specifications, from the ECMA 262 spec and Mozilla reference to caniuse compatibility and stage three proposal on GitHub.
Code Editors3:51
Compare IDEs and lightweight editors, noting that IDEs load entire projects with navigation, auto-completion, and version control. Explore popular options like VS Code, WebStorm, Visual Studio, Notepad++, Vim, and Emacs.
Developer Console3:21
Open the developer tools with F12 (Mac: command option J) to view console errors. Learn to run JavaScript commands, compare Chrome and Firefox, and enable Safari's developer menu for debugging.

Hello World4:49
Learn core JavaScript by attaching scripts to HTML pages in the browser, using inline and external files with proper paths, and leveraging caching to run alerts and organize code.
Code Structure7:11
Explore code structure in JavaScript, including statements, semicolons, and automatic semicolon insertion, then use alerts and line breaks to improve readability while adding comments for clarity.
Use Strict3:45
Learn how use strict enables strict mode in JavaScript, when to place it at the top of a script or inside a function, and auto-enabling with classes and modules.
Variables23:24
Learn how variables store data in JavaScript with let, var, and const. Discover camelCase naming, reserved words to avoid, and when to reassign.
Use alert to show a message.
Creating and Modifying Variable
Create a script to show message using alert function.
Assigning Constant Values

Data Types20:48
Explore JavaScript data types, from numbers and strings to booleans, null, undefined, and big init, and learn how variables hold dynamic values and use the typeof operator.
Interaction Windows Boxes6:20
Explore how alert, prompt, and confirm create modal browser pop-ups to interact with users, collect input, and confirm decisions, returning text, true/false, or null as needed.
Type Conversion7:38
Explore how JavaScript handles type conversion, including string, numeric, and boolean conversions, with explicit and automatic methods, common rules, and practical examples.
String quotations

Basic Maths Operator25:02
Explore basic JavaScript operators, including unary and binary forms, arithmetic, exponentiation, string concatenation with the plus operator, unary plus conversion, operator precedence, assignment, and increment and decrement.
Comparisons15:28
Explore JavaScript comparisons that return booleans, including string lexicographic order, type conversions for mixed values, and using strict equality to avoid surprises with null or undefined.
If Condition18:16
Explore conditional branching in JavaScript by using if statements, boolean conversion, else and else if blocks, and the conditional (question mark) operator, with practical examples.
Logical Operators14:56
Explore how logical operators work in JavaScript, including or, and, and the nullish coalescing operator, highlighting truthy and falsy values, short-circuit evaluation, and practical conditional use.
Coalescing Operator8:11
Learn how the nullish coalescing operator returns the first defined value and provides defaults for null or undefined. Compare it to the or operator and note precedence and parentheses.
Differentiate between postfix and prefix forms
Assignment Outcome
Check your conversion skills
Fix the sum operation
Let's do some comparisons.
What is the resulting output produced by the given code?
Inquire about the "true" identity of JavaScript
Unveil the Signal
Transform 'if' Statement to '?'
?': A Substitute for 'if..else'

While and For loops26:09
Explore looping in JavaScript, covering while, do while, and for loops, with break, continue, and labeled breaks to control iterations and keep code readable.
Switch Statement12:51
Learn how the switch statement replaces multiple if checks by evaluating an expression against cases using strict equality, with break to prevent fall-through and optional default handling.
Convert the "switch" statement to an "if" statement
Transform the "if" statement into a "switch" statement while retaining its original functionality.
Value at the end of the loop
Do both loops generate identical values?
For Loop Behavior
Display Even Numbers in the Loop

Functions29:52
Explore how to use functions in JavaScript to avoid code duplication by declaring and calling reusable blocks. Learn about local and outer variables, parameters with defaults, and returning values.
Function Expression12:10
Learn about function expressions in JavaScript, where unnamed functions are assigned to variables and used as callbacks, contrasting them with function declarations and scope rules.
Arrow Functions5:55
Explore arrow functions in JavaScript, a concise syntax for simple one-line expressions. See how they compare to function expressions, support multi-line bodies with explicit returns, and work as callbacks.
else condition is required or not?
Refactor the Function Using Ternary Operator '?' or Logical OR '||'
Refactor the Syntax of the min Function to Compare a and b.
Refactor the syntax of the pow function, which calculates the power of a number x to the exponent n.
Convert to Arrow Functions
