Course Description

Looking to learn one of the most popular programming languages to get into web design, development, or just for fun? Then this course is for you! In this course, Ace will teach you how to work with JavaScript, a web-based programming language that is widely used across many fields for everything from building out a website to app and game development, to software development! Are you brand-new to coding and programming? Have no knowledge of HTML and CSS? No worries! This course is designed with beginners in mind, so you don't need to know any other programming languages to get started! You'll learn about the fundamental concepts of programming such as data typing, variables, and functions *before* diving into the more complex topics. With the fundamentals down, it's easier to get an idea of how to work concepts such as conditionals, loops and objects through step-by-step coding projects that take the guesswork out of how to achieve a certain result. Each project also comes with an optional challenge, for those who want to push their skills to the next level with each concept. Hands-on and visual learners can utilize the module notebooks included in the course files to get a better idea of how the code is processed and to pull back the curtain on what's going on within the code. They also provide the opportunity to test out small segments of code, without having to go through the process of booting up a test browser. At the end of this course, you'll be able to identify key parts of a JavaScript file and have the ability to build out your own file from scratch. So what are you waiting for? Hop on in!
