About this course:

This 2-hour Introductory JavaScript course is designed to teach students the fundamentals of JavaScript programming. This course is critical for someone trying to get into web development and wanting to learn more about JavaScript fundamentals. This course is a shorter version of our more comprehensive course on JavaScript.

Three main coding languages or scripts rule the internet: HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. However, JavaScript stands apart from the other two, as there is still a debate whether HTML5 and CSS3 constitute languages. That said, all browsers have JavaScript interpreters built-in. Thus if you want to do anything on the web, you need to know JavaScript. What truly makes JavaScript special is that it is the language of interaction. Web developers use JavaScript to create user interactivity and ultimately make websites and other digital content more sophisticated and compelling. This is the reason JavaScript is a required proficiency for serious web developers who not only want to be professionally successful but also to become leaders in their craft. Fortunately, there is ample opportunity to learn JavaScript online, covering basic, intermediate, and advanced training in JavaScript.

The average salary for Front End Web Developer is $88,680 per year.
