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 .

By Elnathan Hailu on 4/13/2021

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!

By Terry Larch on 3/18/2021

This course was both informative and engaging. Laurence Svekis is a great instructor, very easy to understand with his explanations.

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.
