JavaScript Programming

Learn JavaScript online with clear basics, looping logic, functions and DOM skills — perfect for beginners aiming to code confidently.

Overview

JavaScript has long ruled the browser — and now, it’s your turn to understand why. This course walks you through the core building blocks of JavaScript, one logical concept at a time. Starting with the history and purpose of JavaScript, you’ll be guided through its syntax, variables, and basic operations before diving into loops, functions, and interactive page manipulation using the DOM. Each chapter focuses on giving you clarity without unnecessary waffle.

Whether you're brand new to coding or revisiting it after a long break (possibly one with dial-up internet), this course is structured to keep things refreshingly direct and digestible. You won’t need prior knowledge, just a working browser and an interest in how websites think. By the end, you’ll write functional scripts, understand loops without getting dizzy, and handle the DOM with less panic and more purpose.
