Listed as "Advanced Javascript Programming...", but it was very basic - it wouldn't be considered Advanced even if the student had never had any programming at all. And, the names of the topics were sloppily written - Section 11, Lecture 67 is titled 'Javascript "Short" Method', but was actually talking about the "sort" method. Anybody that has an ounce of programming would be able to tell the difference. Didn't anybody check the content versus the titles??????

This title of this training is misleading. This is not an advanced training, it's a very, very basic training, pretty much just explaining syntax and some basic methods and events from Javascript.

I'll have a hard time finding the target audience for this. It's too brief for absolute beginners, who are new to programming and it's far too superficial for anyone who already has some experience with other programming languages and now wants to have a look at Javascript.

It's lacking in several areas. There are long lectures about how to download the chrome web browser. The audience is watching an online training, they probably already know how to down something. The whole training then doesn't really take any benefit from using chrome like the developer tools. It doesn't mention how to track errors or use debugging. There are HTML5 lectures are about meta tags, which are not relevant for this course at all.

Another thing is the topic about array, where the trainer mentions „new Array()“ as a way to define arrays. This is considered bad form, especially for beginners as it can lead to unexpected results. “var x = new Array(5);” for example doesn't put the number 5 into an array, it creates an array with 5 elements, all undefined.
Another points is that JavaScript does not really support associative arrays. When you use it as done in the lecture here, you turn your array into a standard object. It's working in these simple examples, but when you later want to use the array functions you run into problems.

Then we have Lecture 53, where the trainer talks about the onclick event and mentions it must be spelled “onClick”, because Javascript is case sensitive. If you actually use it in Javascript it must be spelled “onclick”, because in JavaScript they typically must be all lowercase. As HTML Event Attribute, where it's used in the lecture, it doesn't matter. HTML is case insensitive.

The whole training stays very much on the surface and doesn't go into details. Lecture 61 is six minutes long and mentions the array pop() method. This would have been a perfect example to combine it with the previous join() method or to mention the return value of pop(), but it stays very basic.

In this form I can not really recommend this course.

If you are new to Javascript and you want to have ground knowledge about it, this is perfect course for you.
