JavaScript 2019: JavaScript ES6 Certification Course (Udemy.com)

Earn the JavaScript Specialist Certification while Learning JavaScript ES6

Created by: SkillSprints Inc.

Last updated October 2020

Our take

Based on the ratings of 1,082 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in October 2020. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a compact JavaScript and ES6 primer, listed at 6.1 hours across 22 lectures. The first seven sections are one lecture each on variables, operators, conditions, loops, arrays and functions, at roughly 10 to 14 minutes apiece. Then come the ES6 topics: let and const, functions, maps, sets, template strings, destructuring, classes and promises. The last section holds seven project videos that run nearly three hours. It lists basic HTML as a requirement, and each topic gets a single lecture.

Reviewers like how clean and succinct the teaching is. One calls the presentation thorough and says they rewatched some sections. Another used it to get ready for React. A student who finished two of Mark Lassoff's courses praises his humor and code examples. The complaints are specific. One reviewer who already programmed found the opening too basic. One reviewer said the material was not well structured and felt incomplete within topics. Another called it an average web page JavaScript course. A PDF in the functions section reportedly doesn't match its title.

Most of the 1,082 ratings are four or five stars, with about a hundred three-star ratings. The last update was October 2020, so anything newer than that is not covered. There are no quizzes or coding exercises listed, so practice depends on the projects. The certificate comes from finishing lessons and submitting labs, not from an exam, so treat it as proof of completion. It suits someone who wants a fast ES6 refresher more than a full JavaScript education.

Best forBeginners with basic HTML who want a quick ES6 tour and a completion certificate to post on LinkedIn.
Skip it ifYou already program and want depth, quizzes or exercises, since the first half covers basics.

Pros

  • Short at about six hours, so the ES6 topics arrive without padding
  • Reviewers call the delivery clean, succinct and easy to follow
  • Seven project videos near the end, almost three hours of applying the syntax
  • Maps, sets, destructuring, classes and promises each get their own section

Cons

  • Each topic gets one lecture, and one reviewer found the material incomplete
  • No quizzes or coding exercises, and the first half is basics for experienced coders
  • Last updated in 2020, and one reviewer says a functions PDF is mismatched
The presentation was clean, succinct and thorough. The ECMA 6 information is invaluable knowledge for serious JavaScript programmers.

Listed as beginner and it expects basic HTML. The early sections are very basic, so experienced coders may want to skim them.

I watched this course to completion. Some sections I watched more than once. The presentation was clean, succinct and thorough. The ECMA 6 information is invaluable knowledge for serious JavaScript programmers. The course exceeded my expectations.

By Kristin McClinton on 11/17/2021

He created a method called fire as an example with an employee class. I found that disturbing. He could have used promote, inform, negotiate, benefit, raise, etc. He chose to use a negative action with a denotation and connotation that could make the viewer feel uneasy. Instead of using an example that was more inviting, engaging, and considerate of viewers, he used an example that could instantly cause the viewer to become upset and distracted.

By Mark Z on 10/26/2020

Mark is an awesome instructor. This is a well thought out and prepared class. Mark talks in a clear and concise manner. Mark teaches in bite size portions and you progress feeling you have made good progress each lesson. I am nearing the half way point but so far so good. Thank you Mark, this course is giving me a solid foundation that I am looking for. I am disabled and this course I hope, will allow me to perhaps one day regain employment from home and help me provide for my family once again.

By Brendon Crave on 4/26/2020

As someone with previous experience with JavaScript, this was a fantastic way to review and practice my knowledge, as well as dive deeper into specific topics. I've practiced old information, learned new information, and demystified things that were before confusing to me.

By Wayne Tipton on 6/12/2019

This was a really great course for me. Mark is a talented instructor, and he covers the essential must know aspects of javascript es6. Mark explains things really well, in plain language, which was very important to me. I particularly enjoyed the debugging challenges. Don't skip them because there is value in figuring out what's wrong with the code...there is one debugging challenge that had me stumped, but I finally got it! Finally Mark adds even more value by adding interesting projects at the end of the course that could be a nice addition to your professional portfolio.

It was clear and easy to understand.

By Dragan Lazarevski on 4/28/2019

At the beginning of my web developer self-taught education I started with "Become a Certified Web Developer" and the lecturer was Mark Lassoff. At that time I was very satisfied with his way of lecturing and with the comprehensiveness of his explanations. After that when I wanted to master JavaScript I knew which course to choose - a course created and lectured by Mark. That's why I have chosen this course. I made a good choice again. This course covers all the basic elements for a good handling of the Java Script work. The course abounds with real problems from everyday life that can be solved with the help of Java Script, in more creative ways. The part with reading exercises is great and activates creativity in you and makes you invest more energy to make them work successfully. At the end of the course there are 4 real-life programs that were created with Java Script. I have to praise Jonah Castro - Assistant Instructor, who was always there to give support for all exercises during the course, but also to give some advice or suggest a way how some exercise should be made. She is very communicative and kind. Thanks Jonah. In one word an excellent and comprehensive course.

Learning some interesting stuff

By Quentin Adams on 3/28/2019

Yes, good pace, great content, energetic instructor!

By Roger Hoffman on 3/28/2019

Mark is an excellent teacher. He methodically walks the student through each building block in a concise way. Its very easy to follow his teaching style, and my mind does not wander or lose focus like with other instructors Ive run across. This course is a great foundation.

By Danny Sulkin on 3/21/2019

Very informative course. The pacing is casual and the program is easy to follow. But more importantly, students become part of a supportive community. In addition to Mark and his assistant Jonah, students swap ideas and answer each other's questions It's been a great way to learn.
