Course outline
We’ll start from the basics so if you are new to JS or need to recap, you’ll attain a solid base and good understanding of the language and syntax.
This course is focussed on solving problems, so each day will cover practical applications of JS in common situations. The pseudo code elements will help you break problems down into manageable chunks and solve issues faster.
