Program Overview

Figuring out how JavaScript fits into the world of software engineering can seem complex. In the JavaScript for Beginners course, we will break everything down for you and give you a road map of how coding works.

JavaScript for Beginners is designed to be your introduction to coding, so no prior experience is required. However, to get the most out of the course, we ask incoming students to start working on fundamental JS concepts by completing Precourse Part 1 and 2 on CSX, our free learning platform. It is highly recommended to complete these units prior to beginning the course.

Course Overview

The curriculum for JavaScript for Beginners is carefully constructed to give both a broad introduction to 'what programming is' as well as cover important JavaScript concepts so you'll be able to solve challenges and build projects with confidence.

Meet Your Instructors

JavaScript for Beginners instructors are software engineers dedicated to supporting each student and acting as their first coding mentor.
