Course Description
Do you want to learn the very popular programming language that powers the internet?
Are you tired of wasting your time and money on random youtube videos or JavaScript courses that are either too simple, or too difficult to follow?
Or are you struggling to deeply understand and apply JavaScript to real projects?
If your answer is a big YES... Then this is exactly the course you are looking for!
...
So what is the course about?
This is a truly complete JavaScript course, that goes beyond what other JavaScript courses out there teach you.
I will take you from a complete JavaScript beginner to an advanced developer.
Come with me on a journey with the goal of truly understanding the JavaScript language. And I explain everything on the way with great detail!
You will learn "why" something works in JavaScript, not just "how". Because in the modern JavaScript world of today, you need more than just knowing how something works. You need to debug code, you need to understand code, you need to be able to think about code.
This course is different because it's not just about writing code, it's also about how and why code works the way it does. Because it's the perfect mix between theory and practice. Because it focuses on small coding examples that lets you understand complex topics very easily.
So, by the end of the course, you will be a capable JavaScript developer, able to write, understand and debug JavaScript code using all the powerful features the language offers to us.
...
Here is exactly what we cover in this course:
• All the JavaScript and programming fundamentals: things like variables, data types, boolean logic, if/else statements, loops, functions, objects, arrays, and more.
• Everything you need to know in order to gain a deep understanding of how JavaScript works behind the scenes: execution contexts, hoisting, scoping, the 'this' keyword, and more.
• Complex JavaScript features such as function constructors, prototypal inheritance, first-class functions, closures, the bind and apply methods, and more.
• Learn how to organize and structure your code using modules and functions, how to create data privacy and encapsulation, and why that's so important.
• What's new in the most modern version of JavaScript: new features of ES6 / ES2015.
• Asynchronous JavaScript: the event loop, promises and async/await.
...
Let's now find out if this course is for you. It's a perfect fit if...
Student #1: You want to gain a deep understanding of the most popular programming language in the world: JavaScript.
Student #2: You have taken other JavaScript courses but: 1) still don't really understand JavaScript, or 2) still don't feel confident to code real-world apps. This course is perfect for you!
Student #3: You want to get started with programming in general: JavaScript is a great language to learn how to code.
...
Now it's your turn to decide. This is what you get:
• Lifetime access to HD quality videos. No monthly subscription. Learn at your own pace, whenever you want.

He believes strongly that deeply understanding any topic allows you to properly learn it and, even more importantly in a real-world environment, quickly overcome problems.
He also has a deep interest in human nature and behavior, and how that impacts human-computer interaction. This interest translated into extending his career into user experience design and usability research.
Another link in the chain is his 8 months of experience in public speaking and teaching, both in front of small groups and as a one-on-one private instructor.
Putting all these pieces together, he has spent his career listening to a client need, designing a database and software to meet that need, building it, testing it, teaching others how to use it, then improving user experience by watching people actually use it and adjusting accordingly.

The instructor obviously has a good handle on how the different concepts work. From Section 42 on, however, I felt that the course was rushed, and the instructor did not provide reasons 'why' one would use Proxies, Reflect, Symbols, etc. and only explained at a basic level how they work.

This is so amazing course, I learned a lot of things, the explanation is super cool and easy to understand. Thank you so much for the course.

Es bueno y profundiza en los conceptos. Me gustaría ejemplos más apegados al uso práctico. En general muy bueno.
By Raju Iyer on 4/26/2020
It is very good but not comprehensive enough. For e.g. once a variable of type var is declared and given a value, even if the variable is declared once again without an initializing value, it retains the value it had before. This is different from the behavior when a variable is first initialized.

I understood some concepts I had trouble putting in practice and this course has provided me with a path to keep learning Javascript.

Good course to understand basic topics and their example and getting started with JS.
By "Tarun Naga Sai Teja' "Kareti" on 5/19/2019
The instructor is clear while explaining but there is not at all one practical way to do them like he didn't tell on which platform he is running the code. Felt boring after a few lectures.
