Credits: Optional Learning
Description
This course teaches learners how to develop in JavaScript from the ground up, progressing from core language fundamentals through intermediate programming concepts, professional-grade testing practices, and interactive web development. Learners build practical skills through a combination of interactive courses and hands-on labs covering syntax, control flow, functions, objects, asynchronous programming, test-driven development using Mocha, DOM manipulation, form validation, and templating with Handlebars.
