About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

You can expect some beginner-friendly content in this course, along with some learning paths. I strongly believe in practical application. Therefore, I will not bore you with facts, long theories, or rants about which parts of JavaScript I consider good or bad. This course is all about getting our hands dirty and understanding how JavaScript works inside out. This highly practical course will start off from covering basic programming concepts in Javascript to introducing JavaScript with HTML and CSS. In addition, you will also get an insight into JavaScript history and its growth in the Software World.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
