Welcome to this "JavaScript - The Complete Guide" Course!

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a dynamic, interpreted and weakly typed programming language which was built with the purpose of running in host environments (e.g. inside of a webpage in the browser).

It's part of pretty much any page you visit in the web as it's the only "thing" in web development that allows you (= the developer) to change something on the page at runtime. Basically everytime something opens, closes, moves or changes on a webpage, JavaScript will be involved.

There also a lot of webpages which are almost entirely powered by JavaScript (i.e. where a lot of the rendering work happens in the browser) - those pages typically use frameworks like Angular, but that's a topic we'll cover later in the course. :-)

What will you learn in this Course?

This course teaches JavaScript from the ground up - no prior JavaScript knowledge is required.

We'll dive into all the basics and core concepts as well as advanced features and patterns all the way up to expert concepts and topics.
