About the course

Course code: C01376

Course overview:

You interact with JavaScript code all the time — you just might not realize it. It powers dynamic behavior on websites (like this one) and plays an important role in many fields, like front- and back-end engineering, game and mobile development, virtual reality, and more. In this aspire journey, you’ll first learn JavaScript fundamentals.

With Intermediate JavaScript, you’ll understand how to incorporate JavaScript in bigger and more complex web apps using concepts such as classes, promises, async/await, and requests. You will also learn how to structure large-scale web apps using classes and modules.

Finally, errors in software are inevitable and costly. Testing enables programmers to catch more of their own bugs before deploying their code. In this aspire journey, you’ll learn how to use tests to enable better development.

The tracks you will cover include:

• Track 1: JavaScript Fundamentals
• Track 2: Intermediate JavaScript
• Track 3: JavaScript Unit Testing
