About This Course

JavaScript for Beginners: Projects based learning, whiteboard animations, coding in the browser and quizzes.

This isn't the only JavaScript course you should ever take...but it should be your first!

JavaScript the Basics is your one stop course to enter into the language of JavaScript. We are going to start from scratch and build up our understanding of the world's most popular programming language together. 

View JavaScript in action with whiteboard videos optimized for viewing on your smartphone. This is truly a course that you can engage with no matter where you are. Take your JavaScript eduction on the go! With whiteboard videos you get to visualize what JavaScript does under the hood. 

You can practice JavaScript in your web browser! Take advantage of Google Chrome developer tools to put the JavaScript you have learned during our whiteboard lesson into practice with further examples and challenges. This is our JavaScript playground.

There will be lots of quizzes on the JavaScript syntax we have just covered. The goal of this course is to move slow and allow these concepts and syntax to sink in through repetition. 

This course is also full of mini-projects that allow you to apply the JavaScript you are learning to actually building something that you can use. We focus on small to mid-sized projects aimed at the skill level of a beginner to intermediate JavaScript student.

Learning JavaScript is like learning a language. This course won't make a false promise of saying you will master JavaScript overnight. However, this course will immerse you into the world's most popular programming language.

Gives me the basics as i go along and practice on the same work place. Great for 5 min watch and 15 min play of trying on my own.

So far, I have only 1 complaint. And it's the same complaint I have of other comparable courses I've tried. It's frustrating when you're totally new to something and all you know is what you've been taught in the lessons. Then when you get to an assignment, and there's a requirement that can't be met with the knowledge we gained from the videos. Or at least the knowledge needs to be applied in a way that we weren't shown in the video. It means that more than 50% of the time, I can't complete challenges on my own. And being able to complete these code challenges without ALWAYS needing the video is what will build the confidence I need to learn coding and take on the project challenges I have. I know it's VERY realistic to need to do something and not know how to do it. I know that much of coding is looking things up and copying snippets and adapting them. But when learning, it would be ideal if we learned 100% of what we need before we're asked to do challenges. This is a minor gripe - the course on the whole is excellent. It's just a pain point that is worth illuminating.

When you have know understanding of the subject matter, it is still hard to absorb. The variables section was understandable, but the string section is a little more confusing. I don't truly understand using \ escape and how that factors in with a string and quotes

Multiple typo mistakes in the examples & results which is unacceptable because it confuses the audience. Complicated aspects are explained briefly and not in depth, making it hard for beginners to understand them. At the same time, simple concepts have taken unnecessary time in videos.
