JavaScript Kickstart: Build Projects with JS + React

4+ Hours of Video Instruction

JavaScript is changing lives. Just by learning JavaScript alone, people are able to obtain jobs with salaries they never would have imagined. You need experience to get a job, and that’s exactly where this video comes in: Learn practical projects from a professional.

JavaScript has become one of the most popular programming languages ever. One survey after another shows that developers of all levels (from beginner to expert) are flocking toward JavaScript. And it’s no longer restricted to Web. NodeJS has allowed developers to use JavaScript on the server side as well. Given the high rate of adoption and a robust community behind it, JavaScript is here to stay.

This course focuses on one thing and one thing only—building a portfolio of projects using React + JavaScript. Once you are done, you will have a portfolio of several projects (apps, games, and utilities) published on the Web. Learners will follow a step-by-step guide to building several projects, all the way from design to publishing on the Web (with a link that you can share with your friends, family, and potential employers).
