Course Description

Modern Web Apps are programs that are experienced in a browser. We need to use a mix of HTML5, Ajax and advanced JavaScript techniques and libraries to get us there.

Node, Angular, React, React Native, Vue, and similar frameworks demand a deep understanding of JavaScript for developers to be successful in them. This 5-day course is specifically designed to build the foundations needed for students to code in them.

This interesting and intensely practical hands-on workshop is designed to equip you to write JavaScript in a way that is robust, scalable, dynamic, elegant, and safe. We focus on modern techniques and practices that will stretch even experienced JavaScript developers, but we keep them within the grasp of developers who may consider themselves JavaScript novices.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Explain modern tooling environments like webpack, npm, yarn, eslint and successfully set up a continuous integration system (CIS)
