Description
In only three hours you will learn enough javascript to transform from a junior javascript developer into a senior javascript guru.
You will dramatically improve your chances of getting past a technical interview, landing that dream job and earning more money.
If you are like me you learnt Javascript by just muddling along, seeing what works and learning a thing or two everyday.
However without a grasp of the deeper fundamentals you will hit quite a few head scratch-y issues, introduce bugs, find it hard to read and understand framework and library code and won’t be considered a senior developer.
This unique course teaches you advanced javascript knowledge through a series of 20 interview questions, with regular quiz’s on the way through to cement your knowledge.
***This course covers ES5 version of javascript, the only officially supported version in all browsers***
What are you going to learn?
- Types & Equality: The different types in JS and how to check if two values are really equal?
- Scopes: The different scopes a variable can be declared in and how to manipulate those scopes.
- Object Orientation: How to perform OO in Javascript with both the Prototype Pattern and the Pseudo-Classical/Constructor Pattern.
- Advanced topics in Networking such as CORS and JSONP.
- Advanced topics in Event Handling such as the different event phases.
Why an interview format?
I find that it’s only when i’m facing an upcoming interview that I get into gear and really make sure I have a deep understanding of what I claim to know.
I might know the best practice for how to solve a problem, but do I know why?
Javascript interviews are designed to dig deeper into your knowledge of a subject, see if you are just mimicking what you have read or if you have a proper understanding.
Also it’s FUN, what’s more satisfying than learning something, then passing a test!
Who is the target audience?
- Any javascript developer looking to change jobs and isn’t looking forward to the interviews
- Devs who have not done javascript in a while, are a bit rusty, and just want to freshen up on the essentials.
- Both experienced and novice developers
- Just about to enter the job market after a career change
- New grads coming out of university
