In Detail
If you want to make a career in JavaScript, it is necessary to have knowledge and skills of the advanced concepts. This course will give you in-depth knowledge of JavaScript and will help you to understand the JavaScript language much better.
The course starts by explaining the learning objectives and highlighting the importance of JavaScript in programming. Next, with the help of coding exercises, you will understand JavaScript libraries, frameworks, objects, and functions. Moving along, you will get to grips with module patterns and learn how to create, load, and test a JSON file. Next, you will learn the techniques to apply OOP concepts to a project and start working on a prototype project. Towards the end, you will master the functional programming concepts used in JavaScript.
By the end of this course, you will be ready to work on real-world projects that require advanced JavaScript skills.
