If you’ve never programmed before, or have just begun learning a language such as Java, this video course is the ideal way to get started with JavaScript. Instead of learning JavaScript in the context of web development—as many teaching resources would have you do—you’ll learn the principles of the language itself.
Host Semmy Purewal takes you through you the language basics, including variables, type-checking, loops, objects, arrays, and array methods. Download this video course or view it through our HD player and get going today.
- Install a text editor and get the course examples
- Learn JavaScript’s basic functions, such as how to create and call them
- Declare and using variables (basic calculations with functions)
- Work with if-statements and Boolean expressions
- Learn about loops, using basic examples and problems
- Delve into array basics and use for-loops to traverse arrays
- Learn data wrangling with built-in array functions
- Understand how to use array functions on maps
Semmy Purewal has worked with a diverse group of clients, including startups, nonprofits, and research labs, during his decade-long tenure as a computer science instructor and freelance JavaScript consultant. These days, he works primarily as a software engineer.
