ABOUT THIS COURSE
JavaScript is one of the most powerful and flexible languages, and it has evolved rapidly in recent years. The ECMAScript 2015 (ES6), 2016 (ES7), and 2017 (ES8) have introduced many new features for front-end and back-end development. This course covers the modern JavaScript features to make your code elegant, concise, expressive, and less error prone.
You will start by learning the basic features of modern JavaScript, including variables, constants, classes, iterators, arguments, loops, arrow functions, and symbols. In the second half, you will dive deep into complex features, like destructuring, literals, inheritance, modules, promises, and metaprogramming.
This course has several examples for you to practice and strengthen your coding skills. Moreover, every chapter has quizzes and multiple exercises to strengthen your grasp of the concepts. By the end of this course, you will be able to add new features with minimum effort and write code more efficiently.
