Course details
Description
What is this course about?
Explore individual JavaScript projects that you can complete in order, out of order, or by jumping directly to what you want to practice. The projects increase in complexity, starting with a basic Pomodoro timer and progressing to a full-stack job tracker and a web-based code editor. Learn how to implement drag-and-drop functionality for a Kanban board, use local storage for data persistence, and work with REST APIs and JSON for server-client communication. Build features such as live code rendering and syntax highlighting, along with customizable dark mode settings. By developing real-world applications, you’ll strengthen your skills and gain confidence in building dynamic, user-friendly web solutions. This course is integrated with GitHub Codespaces, a cloud-based development environment that provides full IDE functionality without requiring local setup. You can practice hands-on coding from any machine at any time using a tool commonly used in professional environments.Instructor
