JavaScript Learning Path

Write Professional, Modern JavaScript

A practical introduction to JavaScript and an overview of the language, Anjana covers what you need to know to be competent at writing JavaScript.

Will’s course emphasizes in-depth knowledge of JavaScript and technical communication, two skills necessary for becoming a high-performing engineer.

Many JavaScript developers quickly jump into a framework before understanding the power and potential of Vanilla JS. Use Max’s course to understand why you might not need a framework.

Kyle’s course reinforces many foundational concepts covered in Will’s course but goes even deeper. He also covers types and the type coercion that goes on under the hood of JavaScript.

Modern JavaScript builds on top of the foundations and adds more to the language. Kyle’s JavaScript the Recent Parts course will give you a deeper understanding of the modern features in the JavaScript Language.

Understanding asynchronous and functional programming drastically increases your programming abilities.

Functional programming relies on tools like map/reduce/filter, pure functions, and immutability. These tools allow developers to compose pure functions to write more predictable and bug-free code.

Go under the hood of the web browser as Will builds a robust mental model for UI composition and virtual DOM rendering so you can understand and recreate the reactivity of frameworks in the most performant way.

We have even more optional JavaScript courses! TypeScript is a standard way to add type information into the language. You’ll want to learn to optimize and measure your code’s performance. Check out the various design patterns you can utilize in your applications and learn some techniques to debug your JavaScript.
