Learning JavaScript opens many doors, both creatively and professionally. It allows you to add dynamic features to your web and mobile apps for everything from interactive forms to games. It’s widely supported by all web browsers, making it one of the most universal and sought-after languages since its inception in 1995. Because of that, it’s also one of the most resilient. It’s not only the language people need to know; it’s the language people prefer. Learning JavaScript also unlocks job possibilities in web development for those interested in creating server-side and client-side applications. Understanding how JavaScript works will help you build these more advanced applications. In this hands-on course, students explore topics ranging from basic protocols and syntax to more advanced concepts like asynchronous programming patterns, callbacks, prototypal objects, and more. Students will learn how to structure and write code in a Node.js programming environment and how to enable real-time communications from browser applications by building a database-connected RESTful API.
