Course Description

This course takes you from JavaScript beginner to a developer ready for real projects and job applications. You will learn syntax and concepts and understand how JavaScript works under the hood: the event loop, scoping, closures, and asynchronous programming that makes modern web applications possible.

You will build six real projects for your portfolio, work through 50+ coding challenges with solutions, and learn modern JavaScript features including ES6+, OOP, async/await, and APIs. The course covers modern development tools like NPM, Parcel, and ES6 modules, plus problem-solving frameworks and efficient workflows.
