Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take JavaScript for Beginners if I’ve never coded before?
Yes, absolutely! This course is designed for those with no coding experience. Before the course begins, you’ll have the opportunity to learn JavaScript fundamentals in the precourse work. Then we’ll start the course by giving you a general understanding of how the web works so you can get a sense of the bigger picture, before we dive into coding!
Is there precourse work?
Yes, we’ll have you complete Parts 1 & 2 of the Precourse on CSX, our free online learning platform. You won’t be required to have a complete understanding of these concepts, but we want you to have some familiarity on what you’ll be learning to make sure you can get the most out of the course.
Will I learn any HTML & CSS or does this course just cover JavaScript?
This course is completely focused on JavaScript and it will not cover HTML & CSS. This course is focused on taking learners from completely new to a JavaScript novice, and with the length of the course we think it’s important not to dive into other languages. If you are interested, we have free weekly workshops that include content on HTML & CSS. See upcoming events here.
If I finish this course am I ready for CS Prep?
Yes, JavaScript for Beginners sets you up with a good foundation to transition into our online, part-time course CS Prep. We recommend continuing to learn JavaScript on your own between courses. Learn more about CS Prep here.
