Program Topics

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.

Week 1:

Setting up Your System

You'll set up your local machine and start using tools such as VS Code, GitHub, and get introduced to Airbnb JavaScript.

Week 2:

Foundations 1: Computational Thinking

You will get an introduction to the foundational concepts to programming and code a basic web animation.

Week 3:

Foundations 2: Mental Model of Computing Operations

We will build on those foundational programming concepts to help you execute your code, store, and reference values.

Week 4:

Introduction to JavaScript

Pass parameters into functions by value and by reference as well as program a more advanced web animation.

Week 5:

Functions: Array Manipulation and Scope

You will work with built-in array manipulation functions and get started with ES6 to learn the latest updates to JavaScript.

Week 6:

Callback Functions

You will learn how to write callback functions which will prepare you to work with asynchronous code.

Week 7:

Introduction to Testing, GitHub, and the DOM

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.

Week 8:

Styles and Bootstrap

You will learn how to use Bootstrap to style a web page.

Week 9:

Asynchronous Code

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.

Week 10:

Introduction to Cybersecurity and Recursion

We will introduce you to the basics of cybersecurity and recursion to further build your programming skills.
