JavaScript Training

This course is designed in such a way that the students will be exposed to the fundamentals of modern JavaScript first, and then move on to more complicated subjects such as creating REST APIs and using front-end frameworks to build Single Page Applications.

As of today JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages. According to resources, JavaScript is used by 95.2% of all the websites. That being said, JavaScript is one of the most sought after skills in the market.

JavaScript is a programming language that you have the most direct exposure and experience with — even if you don’t realize it. JavaScript is executed in the browser, so anyone who has surfed the web has used it. Even having a basic understanding of JavaScript will help you in everyday life as a casual internet user.

Learning JavaScript in 2020 is an excellent choice for new developers considering the high demand for developers and a multitude of frameworks to choose from, some of which are backed up by big Silicon Valley players such as Facebook, Google, etc.

This course is aimed at individuals that are seeking to improve their programming skills with JavaScript. The typical candidate is passionate about technology and programming and is willing to explore new subjects.

Upon course completion, students will be able to:

• Understand HTML, CSS and manipulate the DOM using Vanilla JS or jQuery
• Design and create RESTful APIs using Express as a framework and MongoDB as a DBMS.
• Use Git as a version control tool
• Use basic UNIX file traversal and manipulation commands
• Create Single Page Applications with React JS that connect to REST API(s)
