Good course, Like to know more about javascript
By Princess Nhleko on 4/21/2024
this course is not for beginners. I couldn't understand 70% of it unfortunately
By Manfred Müller on 3/21/2023
Very useful, fast-paced entry-level introduction to the web programming language for JavaScript beginners. Although not diving in overly deep, Laurence gets you up and coding your first JS game that generates its output eight into your browser's window. Some experience with coding might be helpful, but shouldn't be required. Highly recommended

Merci pour le travail effectué. Je trouve que c'est pas fait pour un débutant .

Easy and simple to understand. Laurence is a very good instructor and explains things very well. P.S: Just finished the html and css beginners course also made by Laurence and i've learnt so much from that as well. Thank You!

Good start. Good explanation. However, the DOM video needed an intro. Thank you.
By Bernard Munn on 11/22/2020
If I had no prior programming knowledge I would have been lost, however if you understand basic programming concepts, it's a great intro into java script.
By Federico Bau on 11/16/2020
Nice free little course but really efficient, it teach you fast clear and is a good introduction to the language.
By Justin Yap on 4/26/2020
A good pacey JavaScript refresher. I would rate it a 5 if I hadn't lost audio in last 2 chapters.
