Learn JavaScript

Learn JavaScript is a series of video and projects that can transform anyone - even a total beginner - into a JavaScript developer. In just four weeks you will build four real-world projects that you can add to your career portfolio.

Week 1 - The Top 10 Concepts That Are The Same in Every Programming Language

What is JavaScript? This week we’ll work on an app called “Happy Hour” that will tell you where to go to happy hour after work.

Week 2 - Giphy API

Now, we’ll make an app that searches for animated GIFs. It will require us to build a search bar, make an API call to giphy.com, and then to display all the JSON data we receive as images on our site.

Week 3 - SoundCloud App

In Week 3, we'll be making an awesome app that searches SoundCloud for music and plays our results live in our app (just like a jukebox!). We’ll want to use the SoundCloud Widget API in order to control our live streaming, and HTML5’s localStorage property to save our playlist (even after we shut down the browser).

Week 4 - Data Visualization Exercise using the Google API

In our final week, we’ll use Tabletop.js (don't worry, you'll learn what that is!) so that we can generate our own API data. We'll use the Google Spreadsheet API as our database so that we can quickly update, or add data to our charts and graphs.
