Overview
In this Beginner's Guide to Understanding JavaScript training course, expert author Daniel Stern provides an overview of JavaScript's strengths and weaknesses, helping you to assess if JavaScript is appropriate for a particular job. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no experience with JavaScript is required.
You will start by learning about what JavaScript can do in websites, including approaches to JavaScript authoring and modern website structure. From there, Daniel will teach you what JavaScript can do in web applications, including task automation, NPM and Bower, and explain how Node fits into these conversations. Finally, this video tutorial also teaches you what JavaScript can do beyond the internet, such as JavaScript and robotics, cross platform apps with Unity, and JavaScript apps with Winjs.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have gained a solid understanding of JavaScript's capabilities, and where to use JavaScript in building websites, apps, robots and more.
