Description

In only three hours you will learn enough javascript to transform from a junior javascript developer into a senior javascript guru. You will dramatically improve your chances of getting past a technical interview, landing that dream job and earning more money. If you are like me you learnt Javascript by just muddling along, seeing what works and learning a thing or two everyday. However without a grasp of the deeper fundamentals you will hit quite a few head scratch-y issues, introduce bugs, find it hard to read and understand framework and library code and won’t be considered a senior developer. This unique course teaches you advanced javascript knowledge through a series of 20 interview questions, with regular quiz’s on the way through to cement your knowledge. ***This course covers ES5 version of javascript, the only officially supported version in all browsers*** What are you going to learn?

• Types & Equality: The different types in JS and how to check if two values are really equal?
• Scopes: The different scopes a variable can be declared in and how to manipulate those scopes.
• Object Orientation: How to perform OO in Javascript with both the Prototype Pattern and the Pseudo-Classical/Constructor Pattern.
• Advanced topics in Networking such as CORS and JSONP.
• Advanced topics in Event Handling such as the different event phases.

Why an interview format? I find that it’s only when i’m facing an upcoming interview that I get into gear and really make sure I have a deep understanding of what I claim to know. I might know the best practice for how to solve a problem, but do I know why? Javascript interviews are designed to dig deeper into your knowledge of a subject, see if you are just mimicking what you have read or if you have a proper understanding. Also it’s FUN, what’s more satisfying than learning something, then passing a test!
