Knowing JavaScript opens doors. It has ranked No. 1 most popular in Stack Overflow’s Developer Survey seven years in a row. And, according to LinkedIn, “JavaScript developer is one of the most in-demand roles in the country, as are the skills associated with it, and JavaScript is among the top five in-demand skills in the software industry.” 

Employers put a premium on product managers, designers, and marketers, and more with the technical literacy to collaborate effectively with development teams.

This is an intermediate course and will be full of people who already have a handle on front-end web development basics. You can expect to find designers who want to step up their game, junior developers who want to strengthen their knowledge of JavaScript code, and hobbyists who want to go on to learn other frameworks and languages.

Prerequisite:

This course requires a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS in order to enroll. Graduates of General Assembly’s Front-End Web Development course will be well-prepared.

Project to work on?

For your capstone project, you’ll build a single-page application that follows common design patterns, persists user data, and consumes data from APIs. We encourage you to tackle a coding challenge that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.

Throughout the course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller labs designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.
