JavaScript for Everyone

Source: https://piccalil.li/javascript-for-everyone

Take your skillset way beyond syntax expertise

Being a senior level JavaScript developer is not about memorising countless methods and properties, it’s about gaining a fundamental understanding of the way JavaScript “thinks”.

Here’s the rub: there isn’t always time in a project to dig into the how and why — not when there’s work to do and tickets to close. Gaining that understanding through trial and error, copied-and-pasted snippets, or working with frameworks that make tasks quicker and easier by papering over the gritty details can take a person years.

What I’m doing with this course is to teach you how the language works, how it really works, because that knowledge is what sets a truly senior developer apart. After you complete this course, your knowledge of the language will give you unrecognisable levels of confidence and transferable skills that you can apply, regardless of your organisation’s preference in framework.

This course isn’t a catalogue of every method and property JavaScript has to offer; you won’t find any flash cards or vocab quizzes here. We’re going to focus on the syntaxes you’re most likely to encounter in your day-to-day work, the ones that make up more advanced features of the language, and most importantly, the ones that will help you gain a better understanding of JavaScript, the language, as it is played.

My goal isn’t for you to walk away from this course knowing the whole of JavaScript — that’s impossible. My goal is to help you understand JavaScript: why it works the way it does, why sometimes things that feel like they should work don’t, and why things that feel like they shouldn’t work sometimes do. If you should find yourself hitting a wall, don’t stress: I’ll be here to help right alongside your peers in the JavaScript for Everyone Discord community.
