If you are looking to learn JavaScript from scratch this is the course for you. JavaScript has been dominating the programming world and can be used on the front end, server, and back end. What I like about this course is the ES6 coverage that Zak goes over, this will help down the path of wanting to pick up a framework like Angular, React, Vue, Etc.

Great course! highly recommend.
