JavaScript is THE programming language for the web, and it's becoming more and more important in other areas as well. In this module we'll take a first look at the language and how to make our lives easier by using it efficiently.
In this module, we'll talk about the very basics of JavaScript. JavaScript can be a very tricky language, so we'll try to explain a couple of its quirks as well. This way, we can avoid surprises later.
Collections are a big part of OO programming, they allow you to map one-to-many or many-to-many relationships, as well as let you work with sets of data. In this module, we'll take a look at the different types of collections in JavaScript, and their uses.
A lot of developers are familiar with the concept classes in OO programming. We can use the class pattern to mimic this functionality in JavaScript. We also take a look at the native class syntax introduced in ECMAScript 2015
Asynchronous code is really handy in JavaScript, since it allows us to keep the UI responsive while running a lot of code. In this module we'll see how to make our code run asynchronously.
Hey new JavaScript developer! You are using WebPack right? WebPack? Yes, and Gulp and npm, you need those. Oow and definitly use Babel. It's soo good... If your face looks like a big question mark right now, that's quite normal. Setting up a JavaScript project can be quite the challenge. It's easy to get lost in the overwhelming amount of tools and best practices. In this module we'll create some clarity about these tools and teach you how to set up a modern JavaScript project.
JavaScript can be used in all sorts of projects, but when used in a browser it's best accompanied by a DOM library. jQuery is a great first library to learn how to interact with the DOM and makes many common tasks trivial. popular parts include selectors, event handling, making ajax call, animations, ...
This module is about communicating with the backend. REST allows client-server communication using HTTP.
By using AJAX we can call server-side actions from our client-side code and process the results in a quick, user-friendly manner.
Storage for browsers has been a nightmare for long. We could use cookies to store things, but that would be sent back and forth all the time. Enter Web Storage, a couple of features that allow us to store a bit extra in each browser. We'll look at Local and Session storage and compare it to IndexedDB.
JavaScript is one of the most versatile languages and can be used to code applications for the browser, desktop, phone or tablet using native JavaScript coding, or through frameworks that are built on top of the core JavaScript language. This course is the primer you need for any of your JavaScript endeavours, whether you want to build web sites, web servers with node, mobile apps, office extensions, tools, machine learning,... The list goes on. JavaScript is everywhere and you need to know it.
Anyone with a background in programming who wants to learn JavaScript. Note: This is only about JavaScript, if you want to learn about Web Development in general, you need this course: UJSWEB
