Course Description

So you want to learn JavaScript?

In this Envato Tuts+ course we’ll start at the very beginning and cover everything about the language that a beginner needs to know. Maybe you’ve never programmed anything before, or maybe you’re coming to JavaScript from another language. Whatever your situation, we’ll go through everything you need to get up and running with one of the most popular and dynamic languages in use today.

As you follow along with almost six hours of content you’ll learn the fundamentals of JavaScript, from variables, data types, operators, functions, and keywords, to how to control program flow and work with strings. You’ll even learn more advanced techniques such as prototypal inheritance, regular expressions, closures, and mixins.
