This course was a rundown of the basics of JavaScript. It seemed the perfect accompaniment to the HTML course I had just finished, which did give some CSS exposure as well. Next up will be a more focused course on CSS, but now I won't be in the dark about JavaScript as I undergo that topic.
What we covered in this course:
- Variables and constants
- Primitive and dynamic types
- Objects and arrays
- Types of functions
- Arithmetic, assignment, comparison and equality operators
- Equality, ternary, and boolean operators
- Bitwise operators and oeprator precedence
- If/else and switch/case statements
- For, while and do-while loops
- For-in and for-of iterators
- Break and Continue statements
- Factory and constructor functions
- Value and reference types
- Enumerating properties and cloning objects
- Math, strings, template literals, and dates
- Adding, finding and removing elements
- Arrow functions
- Combining and slicing
- Iterating, sorting, and the spread operator
- Filtering, mapping, and reducing
- Declaration vs expression
- Arguments, default parameters, and the rest operator
- Getters and setters
- Try and catch
- Local vs global scope
- Let vs var
- The 'this' keyword and changing 'this'
At the time this page was designed and launched, this is the most recent course I have worked through. I had just gotten through HTML and was learning a little about CSS along the way, but knew that JavaScript would be able to assist in supercharging my page-making excursion. It familiarized me with the JavaScript syntax, which seems a little different from what I have been doing with C#, Python and even Java. It almost seems a little older, in terms of constructor functions? But that could just be me.
