Why take this course?

Have you always wanted to learn the JavaScript language but didn’t know where to start? JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world and there is a worldwide shortage of good programmers. JavaScript programmers in the US typically enjoy a six figure salary. In this course I teach JavaScript from the foundations, taking a modern approach to the language including modules and classes. Don’t worry if you haven’t the faintest idea what a module or a class is, that’s what the course is for! Because all browsers use JavaScript you already have the necessary tools to get started. After the first 3 lessons I'll show you how to install and setup the free code editor VSCode to continue with the course. You'll even get a free e-book that will help you as you complete the course.

I’m Nik Lever and I’ve been developing web apps for over 25 years. I know that trying to get started with programming can feel a little bit daunting - and so I am here to make that process easier for you. I've taught over 30,000 students.

Try and complete one lesson a day and you will have the basic building blocks necessary to make many web applications. In just two weeks you will have taken the first steps to entering the industry and enjoying a rewarding and fulfilling career.

very well laid out, easy to follow along, and explains a lot of programming concepts universal to other languages.

So far it has been very easy to understand. I feel like I'm learning a lot quite quickly as we are doing it along with the instructor. Edit: I finished the course. I remained engaged the entire time. Even though I have no base AT ALL in coding I was able to follow along and even find where I made errors. I only wish we got to code more than a moving start(even though that was amazing)

First introduction bot nice introduction; zero rtention as it is new language would require further repetition. Leaving max rating.

Easy way to learn the basics of JavaScript. It is possible to run JS without a browser (you need the extension for VSCode). I found one small mistake in one lesson but it isn't so important.

Very dynamic and well-structured. It was a pleasure to listen to the instructor, once I started the course I've listened it without a stop till the end.

Thanks, it was a light, quick, helpful and valuable explanation; I like the curse so far. I finished lesson 3. and I learned a lot in a few mins

The course is too difficult for beginners and should be used as an intermediate course. The pace of the course is too fast and there is little explanation especially in the last few lessons. Summing up is a good course for students who already have programming experience.

Love his energy, I know programming from college classes years ago, so appreciate the quick pace - other courses are too rudimentary and bore me to death - this guy narrates it with a quickness and simplicity that I can easily apply with my code academy lessons.

Nik presents his material at break-neck speed. This is perfect for someone like me who's got 30 years of software experience and I'm just looking to see how to do things I've done before in this language vs the languages I've used in the past. He moves quickly and doesn't waste time. I can see how this might be hard for someone new to programming, however. I would imagine someone who's never coded before would need to back up and re-watch. But if they invest the time to do the exercises Nik offers, they should grasp the concepts.

Thank you! Lessons are easy to understand but I somehow got lost starting from lesson 7-12. Maybe bcs I'm really having a hard time understanding the loops and it affected my learning after watching that. Nonetheless, lessons are engaging. I like the fact where he would give us a mini activity.

Your teaching method is a lot more interesting than what I've been receiving in my school. I finally understand about Json as well as revise my fundamental knowledge. Thank you.
