About the course

JavaScript is the lifeblood of today's web. If you're going to learn one new language this year, make sure it's JavaScript. Take a quick peek under the hood of the largest social network giant or the smallest bedroom startup, and what will you find? JavaScript. Pages and pages of JavaScript. Twitter, Facebook, and Google are all living, breathing JavaScript beings. It's the beating heart of the modern web! Whether you're a back-end dev, front-end dev or designer, Jump Start JavaScript is the perfect primer to what may be the single most valuable language to know for the coming decade.
