Learning to Solve JavaScript Algorithms as a JavaScript Newbie
Hi, it's me, Rob - Front End Engineer and online instructor with over 15,000 students.
If you are a beginner JavaScript students wanting to prepare yourself for your first JavaScript coding interview then this course is for you!
An algorithm is like a recipe. It takes “inputs” (the ingredients), and performs a set of simple and (hopefully) well-defined steps, and then finishes after producing an “output” (the meal).
Each lesson will present you with:
An algorithm for you to solve. This is like challenging you as a chef to produce a specific meal.
I will share with you the JavaScript tools that may be helpful to solve this challenge. This is like knowing the ingredients, tools and techniques of cooking.
I will then teach you to write out pseudocode, how you would solve this problem in your own words. This is where we will write out the recipe together.
Finally, I’ll present you with multiple ways to solve each challenge. Just like there are variations in how to make a meal, so there are a number of ways to solve an algorithm.
Check out any of the sample videos for this course to get a feel :)
Many algorithm courses will present you with a challenge then have you passively watch them solve the challenge. This course will guide you as a beginning in breaking down a problem and learning to solve on your own.
This isn’t the only algorithms course you should ever take. But it should be your first!
Let’s get cooking with JavaScript!

Ive been programming for 2 years now and still cant pass job assessments. sometimes even if i have an example of the code right in front of me. I work as a T.A. for a boot camp too witch makes this even more embarrassing. But ive never had explanations or even sudo code broken down into steps when i work on code wars katas or hacker rank or any of those things. so im glad i found this. it seems to be helping a little bit. im still kindof struggling with the order of certain parts of code but a lot closer than last week.
Just the course I need to dust of any JavaScript rust and improve my confidence within the language.
Great course
The instructor and the course were amazing, above my expectations! I MUST recommend this awesome course for JavaScript Newbie who is learning their first programming language.
Does a great job breaking down each problem and then showing documentation to js methods to be used.
This course is very good .It describe the concept in very good way.
great course, robb. thank you again.
This course as opposed to being a course on algorithm has only javascript concepts explained. I was looking to run past advanced programming exercise and algorithms. Reverse a string is freely available in internet why would someone pay for this.
