JavaScript Core Fundamentals
JavaScript can be a difficult language to master as its core features, syntax and construction leverage approaches and features from language design that is less commonly used in other popular languages. To truly master JavaScript's plethora of APIs in the browser or on Node JS one needs a solid foundation in JavaScript's core language. This course covers all one needs to know to understand what is happening under the hood when using common design patterns and APIs in JavaScript. It is aimed at Front-End and Back-End programmers looking to truly conquer JavaScript's inner workings.
JavaScript is a constantly evolving language and we regularly update our course content for the latest features and APIs. Our JavaScript Front-End and Back-End courses cover JavaScript tools and build chains to target different versions of JavaScript whilst using the latest features.
