Course Description

This isn't the only JavaScript course you should ever take...but it should be your first!
JavaScript the Basics is your one stop course to enter into the language of JavaScript. We are going to start from scratch and build up our understanding of the world's most popular programming language together.
View JavaScript in action with whiteboard videos optimized for viewing on your smartphone. This is truly a course that you can engage with no matter where you are. Take your JavaScript eduction on the go! With whiteboard videos you get to visualize what JavaScript does under the hood.

You can practice JavaScript in your web browser! Take advantage of Google Chrome developer tools to put the JavaScript you have learned during our whiteboard lesson into practice with further examples and challenges. This is our JavaScript playground.

There will be lots of quizzes on the JavaScript syntax we have just covered. The goal of this course is to move slow and allow these concepts and syntax to sink in through repetition.
This course is also full of mini-projects that allow you to apply the JavaScript you are learning to actually building something that you can use. We focus on small to mid-sized projects aimed at the skill level of a beginner to intermediate JavaScript student.

Learning JavaScript is like learning a language. This course won't make a false promise of saying you will master JavaScript overnight. However, this course will immerse you into the world's most popular programming language.

This course is legitimately garbage. There is an average of 1-2 mistakes PER LECTURE. Most are typos, but in programming syntax and spelling are EXTREMELY important, since if you enter a typo your code won't work! You're never going to learn properly by watching him teach mistakes. Half the time the typos are so bad that his own examples are wrong. I'm honestly really unimpressed with Udemy for selling a course with so many mistakes; just goes to show they don't do any sort of fact-checking or quality control with the content they provide.

The course was good, and I learned a lot about the basics of JavaScript. However, I would have liked to see real-world applications over the ones in the course. I found the HTML/CSS additions helpful, but I would've liked to see more cheatsheets in every course. Overall, I felt it was worth the cost and I took a few good items away from the course. Job well done.

This was absolutely one of the best courses for a beginner. I enjoyed Rob Merrill teaching methods and with repetition and refactoring some of the lessons with different attributes gave me a good idea what goes on behind the scenes using editors and seeing was is being represented on the document object model is very cool. Is there an advance course that you would recommend for me to move forward. I definitely want to persude a career in web development.

It is a good introductory course. I recommend it if you are starting from scratch with javascript. With this knowledge you are able to continue getting deeper studying js.

Rob thank you so much for this course, I have as a goal to create certain applications with React Native. Coming from an embedded C/C++ background and knowing at little bit of html and JavaScript, I have managed to learn in a very solid way JavaScript and the great introduction to React through this course. I like the slow pace giving option to speed up for fast learning and still see clearly what the teacher is talking about. Also the illustrative examples used in this course are excellent tools to teach the concepts and help on retaining efficiently in one's memory. Rob's speech is clear. Wish you would have a React Native course !!! so that i can proceed on the next step towards my learning goal.

This course was worth challenging. The quizzes and lab were helpful to make sure what I have learned. React was very hard for me, so I need to repeat it.

Ideal for a beginner. I learned some concepts from it but I struggle with the actual use of js, when you want to use it for something meaningful in the DOM. The part of react was good but hosnestly I dont know what is that doing there.Overrall, for what it's worth, as long as you are no expert, it's a good course. Excelent teacher too.

It's been a good match so far. Having the information explained thoroughly helps out so much more than just reading something from a website or article.

Very clean and simple to understand, even for the most beginners of all

I felt like Rob did a great job of explaining why and how the JS and React syntax was used.

The course was good,very detailed.ButIt is very annoying that i can hear his swallows ...like his mic is in his throat.That annoys so much, except from that everything was fine.

Really easy but I think there is programming information you have to know beforehand to understand the basics with this course.
