Hands-on Coding Basics: Javascript | Free Class
About This Class
Which coding language has held the #1 spot on Github for the past decade? You guessed it. JavaScript is consistently the most-used language every year. That’s because this scripting language can be used for everything from web design to data processing.
Join us for a free, 2-hour class to get hands-on practice with the fundamentals of programming using JavaScript, and find out if a coding career is right for you.
You’ll learn about the fundamental building blocks of all scripting languages (variables, loops, conditionals, and functions) and get hands-on practice implementing them in Javascript. Bonus: there will be time at the end for live Q&A with the instructor.
We’ll see you in class.
Takeaways
You’ll leave this class with:
- An understanding of the role Javascript plays in software engineering
- Basic knowledge of the core concepts of programming like variables, control flow, and functions.
- Hands-on practice with basic JavaScript syntax in a web-based code editor, (Codepen)[https://codepen.io/].
- Confidence to continue practicing your coding skills
