Learn JavaScript, the language of the web

You likely use web-based and mobile applications every day. Watching an embedded video on your news app, using the search box on Amazon, or refreshing your Instagram feed. What is powering these applications?

Learn how interactive web and mobile apps are created with JavaScript – and learn to program your own! JavaScript is a text-based programming language, and this course is a great place to start learning programming. No prior knowledge required.

Programming skills open you up to careers in almost any industry and are required if you want to continue to more advanced and higher paying web, mobile app, or game development roles.

Completing the course earns you a Statement of Achievement. It also prepares you for the JSE - Certified Entry-Level JavaScript Programmer certification from OpenEDG JavaScript Institute.

You'll learn these core skills:

  • Think algorithmically and analyze problems.
  • Design, develop, and improve JavaScript programs.
  • Understand a programmer’s work in the software development process and the role of fundamental development tools.
  • Know how a program is interpreted and executed in an actual local and remote computer environment.
  • Create and develop your own programming portfolio.
