Knowing JavaScript opens doors. It has ranked No. 1 most popular in Stack Overflow’s Developer Survey seven years in a row. And, according to LinkedIn, “JavaScript developer is one of the most in-demand roles in the country, as are the skills associated with it, and JavaScript is among the top five in-demand skills in the software industry.”
Employers put a premium on product managers, designers, and marketers, and more with the technical literacy to collaborate effectively with development teams.
This is an intermediate course and will be full of people who already have a handle on front-end web development basics. You can expect to find designers who want to step up their game, junior developers who want to strengthen their knowledge of JavaScript code, and hobbyists who want to go on to learn other frameworks and languages.
Here are just some of the benefits you can expect as a GA student:
A robust introduction to the fundamentals of the JavaScript language and object-oriented programming.
The technical know-how to utilise JavaScript code both in the browser and on the command line, respond to user input, and consume data from any third-party API.
60 hours of expert instruction from a professional developer, plus many more spent tackling homework, honing projects, and getting technical support in office hours.
Robust coursework, including expert-vetted lesson decks, project toolkits, and more. Refresh and refine your knowledge throughout your professional journey as needed.
A real-world project where you’ll build a single-page web app that adheres to modern JavaScript design patterns.
