- Students will have a thorough knowledge of the foundations of the JavaScript language, with a focus on the use of language as a tool for solving problems. Along the way, we cover basic set-up of our work environment, install tools for the job such as Git and code editors, learn basic command-line tools, and more general CS principals such as frequently-used algorithms, efficiency of algorithms and data structures.
Description
This course is designed for those new to JavaScript, and even those new to programming entirely. However, as the first module of a comprehensive web development course currently under production, it is intended for those who are serious about becoming superior programmers. In 199 lessons, we cover the commands and methods we use on a daily basis, examine the structure of JavaScript generally, including concepts such as inheritance and scope, and introduce a number of important concepts from general computer science, such as memory management, efficiency of algorithms, sorting methods, and bitwise operations.
Finally, a very important part of this course is application of JavaScript to solving problems. Currently the top-ranked coding challenge solver on the Coderbyte website, I found that solving such coding challenges was the easiest way to develop my skill in working with the language, as well as to develop skill at figuring out how to come up with solutions to real world problems.
