Solidify core JS fundamentals - data types and control flow.
Master the use of JS functions
- higher order functions.
Use foundation to grow as a JS engineer.
To be a successful programmer, you must master the fundamentals.
After this class you'll be prepared to tackle more advanced JavaScript concepts.
Advanced JS concepts are built upon the blocks of knowledge we cover here.
All the fancy JavaScript libraries and frameworks are constructed based on these building blocks.
The core concepts here apply to other languages, though the syntax and rules will differ slightly.
• Arrays
• Objects
• Functions
• Control Flow
• Higher order functions
• Testing
• Nesting
• Toy problems
• Live coding
• Interview
• Livestream strategies
1. Use your best judgment
2. Don't hesitate to ask
