Dave you are a really great teacher. The last part on IsNan might need to be more explained.

Thanks a lot, Dave Very useful course. Very well-structured. I tried to learn JavaScript using different learning resources but this course is really what has helped me to understand the basics of programming.

Very solid foundation. I'm all ready for objects now

By Stephen O'Connor on 4 years, 5 months ago

Covers the basics of JavaScript very well, syntax, variables, numbers, conditionals and functions. I have always struggled with JavaScript but after reading JavaScript and jQuery by Dave and watching the videos at Treehouse - including this one - I am starting to get a good grasp on things. Amazing job.

I expected to learn the basics of JavaScript. I feel like I have a good grasp on the basics. It's hard to find any faults in this course. I honestly didn't find anything that I can point out here. What I would improve about any online course is that I would have multiple practice projects per level that can be used to solidify new found knowledge. Not just one.
