Course Description

If your goal is to learn JavaScript and get hired, take this course.

According to the 2018, Hackerrank developer survey, JavaScript is the number one skill that companies are looking for in the tech industry. After all, JavaScript is the language that runs in the browser. And almost every company does business through a web application.

JavaScript frameworks are also the biggest gap between what employers demand, and what candidates can provide. This is because JavaScript still isn't a part of the core curriculum at many universities. Rising software engineers don't have JavaScript skills unless they learn on their own.

Therefore, according to the statistics, learning JavaScript is smartest choice to increasing your chances of landing a job.

In addition, this course is going to give you an extra advantage. Throughout the course, there are special interview-question based videos. These focus on particularly tricky question, that you may get asked about during a JavaScript interview.

Here's how the course journey will go:

  • First: the Basics. You'll ramp on the console, syntax, objects, and other language fundamentals.

  • Second: Functions. There are a few ways to create functions. So you'll explore those differences, and important concepts like the `this` keyword.

  • Third: Types - Digging Deeper. There are some big questions about types: what is type coercion? How are truthy and falsy different? What is null vs. undefined? In this section, you'll cover those questions and more.

The course is meant for newcomers to JavaScript. In addition to the interview-question based videos, there are resources like quizzes to help reinforce your learning.

Overall, the statistics say that investing your time in JavaScript is a wise decision. On top of this, this course is giving you a greater advantage by preparing you for the tough interview questions.

Ultimately, if your goal is to get hired for your JavaScript skills, then this course will set you on that path!

He gave only the basics of the course for free I thought this is all javascript then he introduced his paid course

By Denis on 5/11/2020

The instructor explains everything in a calm, understandable way and also points to common mistakes that are made and how to resolve them. I really enjoyed the course.

By Howie Zhu on 1/6/2020

Great starting material for basic stuff. It doesn't cover the core concepts like async await, promise, proptypes etc. That will be in his other course that you have to buy.

By Diaz Ananta Putra on 12/7/2019

this course teaches you about javascript gradually. the voice of the instructor is very clear and the way he teaches is very easy to digest. one of the best courses that I took at udemy

By Atiya Atah on 12/2/2019

The instructor is lively and holds your attention not like other courses I sampled where the instructor came across as having low energy and was going to put me to sleep. the content is broken down into beginner chunks that are built on in a logical way to increase your knowledge with understanding of how things work and why you do things a certain way. The first introduction video seemed to take too long but otherwise I am very grateful to this instructor. Excellent delivery. Thank you.

È semplice e chiaro e parte dalle basi del linguaggio.. le prime lezioni sono per chi si avvicina alla programmazione

By Mor NDIAYE on 11/22/2019

David is very engaged when he explains the different concepts of the course. I really recommend it to all beginners and people who want to refresh their knowledge.

By Jimmy Alexander Pérez Penagos on 11/8/2019

explican muy bien los conceptos, paso a paso, si eres programador, va a ser bastante fácil entender el curso, sino van a ir paso a paso y tienen herramientas que puedes emplear para aprender o entender de una mejor manera.

By Zahid Karim on 10/31/2019

This was an excellent introductory course on javascript, the trainer was very good at explaining things and the interview question approach was very engaging , thanks

By Casey Struiken on 8/8/2019

The interview questions sections add something extra to the course. I like how the instructor doesn't only explain how certain things work, but also breaks down step-by-step why that is. It's something I have missed in other courses I have taken.
