Course Description

Regular expressions can help you more easily solve programming problems. They are an important tool in your coding toolbox.
If you have dabbled with regular expressions or not even used them before, this course is for you. You will learn the syntax and participate in numerous examples and exercise to help you integrate regular expressions into your JavaScript coding.
In Mastering Regular Expressions in JavaScript we focus on two main goals:
Helping you learn regular expressions and how to construct them, and teaching you the powerful ways regular expressions can be used in JavaScript. If you work in the JavaScript language, this course will be most useful, but even if you work in another language you can use this course to learn about regular expressions as the syntax applies to many programming languages.
This course contains 9sections, 55different lectures, over 5 hours of video tutorials, 5 exercises, 5 quizzes and 10 application lectures that will make sure you have what you need to use regular expressions in your JavaScript coding work.
If you are ready to master regular expressions,this course is for you!
Who this course is for:
This course is intended for JavaScript developers that would like to improve their skills in regular expressions. If you work in another language, the regular expression content can still be useful.

Instructor Details

Steven Hancock

Ihave had 20+ years experience in training andproduct development and 15+ years working with JavaScript. I started learning JavaScript when it was a newlanguage used for minor affects on a web site. The growth and ubiquitous nature of JavaScript both excites and inspires me.
Icurrently work as the President and Lead Trainer at All Things JavaScript, a resource for anyone and everyone that hopes to increase their JavaScript skills and move from novice to expert.
I'm doing what I love most:Teaching about technical subjects. It is so important to understand the why, not just the what and how, when it comes to technical subjects. My goal is to help thousands of JavaScript developers to get started and become experts in the field making a great living coding.
Iwas the co-owner and President of Rapid Intake, an eLearningfirm. The company was an ideal place for me to apply my training anddevelopment skills.While there I managed all development and professional service related activities. I was heavily involved in the initial development of Rapid Intake's main product, an eLearning authoring tool,which eventually lead to Rapid Intake's acquisition in 2011 by Callidus Software.
In addition to JavaScript technologies, I havedabbled in other web technologies such as ActionScript, ASP, PHP, HTML, and CSS.

Great!

By Julian Figueroa Torres on 12/6/2020

Steve did an awesome job explaining all the nitty-gritty about regex.

By Bryan Isles on 11/18/2020

I'm primarily looking into how a regular expressions can be created from scratch for use in VBA/Python. Being that I have a background in full-stack web development, learning in Javascript is acceptable as the overall goal is the pattern recognition aspect of RegEx.

Good

By Jan Oglesby on 10/17/2020

I had worked with regexes, but did not fully understand everything I was using. Having this as a formal course really helped clear up confusion and solidify how regexes work at a deeper level. This course will add a powerful tool to your toolbox!

I am finally learning regex!

Fantastic!!!

By Samuel Morgan on 9/15/2020

Great thus far.

By Erin Fleming on 9/9/2020

Good match for me. Lots of practice.

By Nejc Schneider on 9/8/2020

Clear, but basic. You won't learn more advanced concepts or how to use them. Also pacing is quite slow. I recommend this course if you are a beginner. If you already have an intermediate coding skills or if you aim to be a pro I recommend take a look at other courses.

By Kristof Demeyer on 8/19/2020

Very well explained topics (sometimes difficult subjects). I really enjoyed this course and have learned a lot. Thanks ! Now I am going to attend the other courses of Steven.
