JavaScript is THE most important programming language you need to learn as a web developer - and with this course, you make sure that you will not miss a single thing you have to know as a JavaScript developer.
This is the most comprehensive and modern course you can find on JavaScript - it's based on all my JavaScript knowledge AND teaching experience. It's both a complete guide, starting with the core basics of the language, as well as an extensive reference of the JavaScript language and environment, ensuring that both newcomers as well as experienced JavaScript developers get a lot out of this course.
It's a huge course packed with important knowledge and helpful content:
From the core basics, over advanced concepts and JavaScript specialties, all the way up to expert topics like performance optimization and testing - this course has it all. My goal was to create your go-to resource for the JavaScript language, which you can not just use for learning it but also as a resource you can come back to and look up important topics.
The course is based on my experience as a long-term JavaScript developer as well as a teacher with more than It's packed with examples, demos, projects, assignments, quizzes and of course videos - all with the goal of giving you the best possible way of learning JavaScript.
What's in the course?
This course is obviously packed with content - I therefore strongly recommend that you check out the full course curriculum to get a clear idea of all the topics covered in the course. In general, here's what you'll find in the course:
Modern JavaScript from the start: The JavaScript syntax changed over time - in this course, you'll learn the latest syntax from the start (you'll also learn about the old one though, so that you can work in ANY JS project)
ALL the Basics: Variables, constants, functions, how scripts are loaded etc
Arrays & Objects: We'll explore these very important data structures in great detail
Control Structures: Understand how to run code conditionally and in loops
A look behind the Scenes: How JavaScript engines work behind the scenes and what that means for us
Deep dives into Core Concepts: ALL the special things about JavaScript function, different syntaxes
Working with the DOM: How to manipulate web pages dynamically via JavaScript (including deep dives and different use-cases)
Events in JavaScript: Learn how to listen to a broad variety of events (e.g. drag & drop) and execute appropriate code
Classes & Object-oriented Programming: Learn how to work with classes, prototypes, the "this" keyword, constructor functions and much more
Asynchronous and Synchronous Programming: We'll explore callbacks, promises, async/ await and other important tools and language features to execute code correctly
Http Requests: Learn how to send Http requests via JavaScript
Tooling, Optimizations & Browser Support: Code splitting, producing small code and ensuring that scripts work in all browsers - this matters and hence is covered in great detail
Libraries & Frameworks: Learn about libraries like Axios or frameworks like React.js - why they matter and how to use them
Node.js: Whilst focusing on the browser-side for the majority of the course (because the syntax is the same), we'll also have a dedicated section on Node.js to learn all about that JS host environment
Security & Performance Optimizations: Of course security matters, so does performance - no surprise that both is covered in the course.
Automated Testing: Testing manually is hard work and can be unreliable - in this course you'll also get an introduction into automated testing
What are the course prerequisites?
NO JavaScript knowledge is required - you'll learn it from scratch.
You also need NO programming experience other than basic web development knowledge (e.g. how the web works)
Basic HTML and CSS knowledge is recommended but not a must-have

Welcome to the course, amazing to have you on board of this JavaScript course! Let me walk you through the content of this complete JavaScript course and explain what you're going to learn!
What is JavaScript and why do we use it? What's awesome about it and what's its role in modern web development? Let's take a closer and understand the importance of JavaScript!
Let's dig deeper into the core fundamentals of JavaScript and add it our first little web application!
Let's have a look at how JavaScript is executed, what the browser's role is and how all these pieces fit together!
JavaScript is a weakly typed language - but what does that mean? In this lecture, we'll explore the different kinds of programming languages and how JavaScript fits into the picture!
JavaScript is a versatile language. That's awesome - but what does it mean? Let's explore the concept of host environments and see how JavaScript fits into that picture!
We know what JavaScript is about - but what is this course about? This is obviously a very comprehensive JavaScript course, in this lecture, I'll walk you through the content of this course and what you can get out of it!
Your success matters to me! In this lecture I'll explain how you can get the most out of this course and get the most value for your money.
This course comes with tons of content and resources - here's how to use them!
We got JavaScript and we got Java. What's the difference, how are they related? Or are they maybe not related at all? Let's find the answer!
JavaScript is a modern programming language with a colorful past and many new features added over time. Let's find out how it changed and is managed today!
We're ready to go! Now let's set up a development environment that allows us to write code efficiently and progress quickly!
Got questions? Here are the answers!
Variables and operators are extremely important in any script you're going to write. Time to check your knowledge!
Do you understand numbers, strings and constants?
Just like variables, functions are kind of the meat of any program. It's extremely important that we're all on the same level, so time to check that!
Arrays and objects are core data types in most programming languages - they definitely are in JavaScript. Let's explore your knowledge!
These types are ... weird. Is their meaning clear though?
Time to check the very basics about if statements and the operators you use there.
Good to know
