A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course.
Learn JavaScript from the ground up and develop skills to build interactive web applications. By the end of this course, you will be able to write efficient JavaScript, manipulate the DOM, manage React state, and connect to an Express.js backend. You’ll also improve debugging, performance optimization, and follow best practices in modern JavaScript development.
The course starts with the basics, covering JavaScript’s role in web development, setting up your editor, and using shortcuts. You'll explore concepts like variables, operators, loops, functions, and objects. Advanced topics include event handling, closures, form validation, and regular expressions for better interactivity.
Next, dive into React, where you'll build component-based applications, manage state with hooks, and apply animations using external libraries. You'll also develop a React-powered game and integrate it with backend services via Express.js. Real-world projects will help solidify your learning.
This course is perfect for beginners and aspiring developers eager to enhance their JavaScript and React skills. Basic HTML and CSS knowledge is helpful but not required.
