This course is the first in a 2-course series that will prepare you for the JSE – Certified JavaScript Entry-Level Programmer and JSA – Certified Associate JavaScript Programmer certification exams.

The main goal of the course is to guide you from a state of complete programming illiteracy to a level of programming knowledge which allows you to design, write, debug, and run programs encoded in the JavaScript language, and to understand the basic concepts of software development technology.

The course will prepare you for jobs and careers connected with widely understood software development, which includes not only creating the code itself as a junior developer, but also computer systems design and software testing.

JavaScript is a vital programming language that powers our online experiences. From interactive websites to dynamic web applications, JavaScript is the driving force behind the user-friendly interfaces and functionality we enjoy today. In fact, just about every website around the globe utilizes JavaScript to provide the best user experience possible. Given the global reach of JavaScript, learning the foundations of the language can serve you well.

JavaScript Essentials 2 is the second course in a 2-part series designed to build your programming skills from the ground up. Building on the foundations laid in JavaScript Essentials 1, you'll learn how to analyze and model real-world problems using object-oriented programming and explore more intricate aspects of JavaScript such as asynchronous programming and functions.

After completing this course, you’ll be prepared to take the JSA – Certified Associate JavaScript Programmer certification exam. Earning this certification showcases your skills and competence in JavaScript, including knowing how to design, develop, deploy, refactor, and maintain JavaScript programs and applications.
