Take your web design/development skills to the next level by learning Javascript!
Javascript is one of the most in demand programming languages today. This course will take you from zero knowledge to confidently adding interactivity to websites and building standalone applications.
Javascript is here to stay, it is built into and runs in all the major browsers and is the default scripting language for the web.
By learning Javascript you will have the power to add features and interactivity to websites, build large scale full stack applications and create games using one programming language!
As you go through the course we will include many mini challenges to test what you have learned in the section. This is your chance to get writing code and reinforce what you have learned by building mini projects.
The goal of this course is to give you a good understanding of Javascript fundamentals, and equip you with the skills and confidence to move on and build your own creations.
By the end of the course you will have the skills and confidence to take on the full project where we will build a business card application.
Learning Javascript is essential for any web developer. Go ahead and take the next step and learn one of the most popular programming languages today!

If you are new to Javascript or have your some experience but concepts like triggering an event from a click or when a HTML page detects keyboard input from a user is unclear to you, this course explains those methods well. Does it cover Javascript in its entirety? No, once you complete this course, you will want to start creating things. The structure of this course puts emphasis on projects, showcasing how what we learn can be applied to our webpages and beyond. Instructor moves a decent pace. Hopefully there will be a intermediate and advance courses down the line.

Javascript is becoming clear to me because of this course.

I tried learning the basics of Javascript from other online courses but they usually lacked in some way. This course was the one that finally helped me learn JS. The instructor was well spoken and knowledgeable, plus, the pace was just right. I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn JS.

I don’t know what is it about this particular instructor, but he can take a topic I’m completely lost in (such as JavaScript) and make it make more sense to me. I’m by no means anywhere NEAR where I need to be in my understanding of JS, but I’m so much closer than I was before I started this course (and I’ve taken other courses). This is my 3rd Chris Dixon course, and as soon as I finish this, I’m already signed up for my 4th.

Great course well explained

Chris does an outstanding job of getting to the level of the student and putting it in words that they can understand. Not many teachers have that quality.

Very clear and simple to follow. The individual lessons are short but they build up to a useful amount of knowledge. For the first time, I feel I really understand Javascript.

This was my first time with JavaScript (or any programming language). I feel like this course was a great, succint overview of JS basics with a lot of mini projects along the way. The projects are a great way to practice what you just learned, but some parts might need Googling to figure out. It helps if you’re familiar with HTML, CSS, & Bootstrap, because they are used in the projects and referenced in functions. If you don’t know them, he walks you through everything anyway. The course is only 5 hours so it doesn’t go very in depth on each topic. I’d recommend further reading and taking another course afterwards. However, the projects are a nice way of seeing a little bit of what JavaScript can do! All in all a great intro to JS. I took this as a primer to give me an idea of what I’m getting into with a more comprehensive course I’m taking next.

Everything is clearly and logically explained. I like the mini challenges, they really help in understanding the concepts that are taught. My only criticism: I felt a lot of the last project was way too challenging to do on my own and so I just mostly followed along with the teacher. Did have a pretty good idea how to do the functions though.

If you’ve been learning to code for a while doing HTML and CSS but are putting off JavaScript. STOP. I used to think I wouldn’t ‘get’ JavaScript, I tried a few courses and got bored with the basics/fundamentals wondering when/if it would actually be useful. Knowing there would be a mini challenge or project within a couple of lectures got me through the theory. Right now I’m confident in the basics and am writing functions and changing elements on the page.
