This course is designed to prepare you with the skills you will need to start or continue your career as a web developer using JavaScript.
You'll set up your local machine and start using tools such as VS Code, GitHub, and get introduced to Airbnb JavaScript.
You will get an introduction to the foundational concepts to programming and code a basic web animation.
We will build on those foundational programming concepts to help you execute your code, store, and reference values.
Pass parameters into functions by value and by reference as well as program a more advanced web animation.
You will work with built-in array manipulation functions and get started with ES6 to learn the latest updates to JavaScript.
You will learn how to write callback functions which will prepare you to work with asynchronous code.
You will work with the Document Object Model and learn how JavaScript communicates with a web server. You will also work more closely with GitHub and learn how to test your code.
You will learn how to use Bootstrap to style a web page.
You will learn how to create a program that deals with asynchronous code. This will enable you to create a web page that incorporates information as it is received from the server.
We will introduce you to the basics of cybersecurity and recursion to further build your programming skills.
