JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects
Storing, tracking and handling data is a large part of computer programming. Arrays provide a method for storing multiple values into a single variable. That makes an array a convenient way to pass around a list of items. In this course, you'll learn how to create arrays and use loops to access their contents. You'll also learn some advanced methods that make working with arrays easier.

Getting Started With ES2015
ES2015, also called ES6, is a newer version of the JavaScript language that’s well supported in browsers and commonly used by programmers. In this course, you'll get up-to-speed with ES2015 basics and be well on your way to writing modern JavaScript. You'll learn best practices for creating variables, using the let and const keywords, and a better way to concatenate string values using template literals. You'll also learn the compact syntax for creating functions using "arrow syntax."

Understanding "this" in JavaScript
JavaScript gives you, the developer, access to an extremely powerful keyword - “this”. “this” can be used to access data contextually, allowing your functions and methods to access the data that they need based on a specific context. “this” is awesome, but it’s also very confusing! In this workshop, we’ll go over 3 of the 4 main ways “this” can be used, and hopefully demystify it’s usage.

User Authentication With Express and Mongo
Learn how to implement a custom user authentication system that controls users access to web resources using Node.js using Express and MongoDB. The system lets users sign up, log in, and log out, limiting access to password-protected resources. Express is a popular web framework for creating MVC applications and RESTful APIs in Node.js. Express lets developers define routes and middleware for submitting and retrieving data in our database. We will leverage the document based NoSQL database, MongoDB, to store our user data by creating a user model with mongoose. Mongoose is an open source Node package for defining data models for an application and connecting to MongoDB.

Build a REST API With Express
REST services are a powerful way of providing functionality over the internet. Not only can they be used as a foundation to build sophisticated web applications, they can also be integrated into any number of other projects, making them the ultimate in modularity and reusability! Instead of having to rebuild an application for several platforms, for example -- iOS, Android, browser, etc -- you can build the back-end once and just add user interfaces as needed. You can build a REST service in many different languages/platforms, but for this course, we will be building one with Express, a popular framework written for Node.js. We will also use Mongoose with MongoDB to persist our data. Let’s get started!

Track Completion
Full Stack JavaScript
Web Developers working with different frameworks, libraries and languages will certainly be required to use JavaScript professionally. JavaScript powers the interactivity and the user experience on every major website. From user interfaces that provide richer desktop-like experiences to real-time data and messaging applications, you'll find JavaScript in the browser, on your phone and on the server. In this track we'll introduce you to the JavaScript language, jQuery, the popular JavaScript framework and the ins-and-outs of adding interactivity in the browser. Once you're up to speed with JavaScript in the browser, you'll learn Node.js, a popular JavaScript platform for writing and using JavaScript applications outside of the browser. For example, command line applications for improving your workflow, dynamic websites and much more.
