Basic Setup3:27

Primitive Data Types - Part 17:15
Primitive Data Types - Part 22:54
Operators9:34
Explore JavaScript operators, including arithmetic, order of operations, modulo, increment, and compound operators, then delve into comparison and logical operators to evaluate values in boolean contexts.
Strings8:20
Numbers9:58
Conditional Statements5:46
Learn how to use conditional statements in JavaScript, including if, else if, switch, and the ternary operator, to control which code blocks run based on true or false conditions.
Loops7:12
Nested for Loops2:02
Arrays2:48
Multidimensional Arrays2:32
Learn how multidimensional arrays work by composing a bookshelf of math, programming, and comic book arrays, and access items with multi-level indexing.
Array Methods6:07
Looping through Arrays5:10
Explore looping through array index values with a for loop using i and the array length, and add conditionals to check existence, including an else branch.

Course Review0:43
Functions6:29
Scope Functions6:58
Variable Hoisting Functions4:38
Declarations and Expressions2:03
Learn how functions can be treated like variables by passing them around as data, compare function declarations and function expressions, and understand how hoisting affects call order.
Self-Invoking and Anonymous Functions3:43
Callback Functions3:06
Functions that Return Functions2:37
Closures3:21
Discover how closures let an inner function remember the outer environment's state, avoiding global variables and enabling persistent counters in JavaScript.

Objects4:52
Copying Objects6:06
Objects Functions and This - Part 16:12
Objects Functions and This - Part 22:16
Explore how this binds in nested functions within objects, why this becomes undefined, and apply fixes using call or a that variable to preserve the correct context.
Constructors and Factories6:49
Explore the class concept in JavaScript and compare constructors and factory functions as patterns for creating objects that inherit properties through prototype and the new keyword.
The Module Pattern5:43
Discover how the module pattern structures an entire javascript app, encapsulating code from the global scope with a quiz maker, init, start quiz, and prompt interaction.

Requirements

Description

Learn the essentials you'll need to get started with JavaScript, which is a popular programming language used to make web pages interactive.

During this course, your instructor will introduce you to executing basic JavaScript programs. You will discover the basics of the language (syntax, strings, data types), and you will understand using loops and conditional statements, and working with arrays. Additionally, this course instructs how to use various functions including scope, callback, return and anonymous functions.

Learn JavaScript for Beginners also teaches about the importance of JavaScript objects and the properties associated with objects. You will also learn details regarding the Document Object Model (DOM), a programming interface that can be accessed by JavaScript.

By the end of this course, you will be confident on the fundamentals needed to effectively program in JavaScript.
