About the course:
Our instructor-led Modern JavaScript training course explores this unique software development ecosystem in depth with a particular focus on ES6+.
You will gain a deep-dive into the language and related technologies - you'll gain hands-on experience exploring Scope, Functional Programming, TypeScript, Node, Async programming, Reative programming with RxJS and Design Patterns for JavaScript.
We'll take you through key capabilities added to the language from ES6 and beyond. This includes arrow functions, destructuring, classes, modules and the spread operator.
It's a great introduction to JavaScript development if you're coming from other languages / technologies such as C# / ASP.NET, Python, Java, PHP - or if you just want to polish up your existing JS web development skills.
This course is updated frequently to reflect this rapidly evolving language.
Express JavaScript training option:
Let us know if you are interested in an on-demand condensed 2-day intensive workshop to get up to speed with core JavaScript functionality (suitable for experienced web developers).
Learning outcomes
- Apply Functional Programming techniques for transforming data
- Encapsulate code with ES6 modules
- Manage and debug problems with Scope
- Structure code with ES6 classes
- Handle asynchronous situations with Promises
Who should attend
This Advanced JavaScript course is suitable for you if you are an experienced software developer with an understanding of programming fundamentals but may be new to JavaScript. You would also find this course useful if you are looking to gain a deeper understanding of the language as you start moving into Angular and React projects.
Prerequisites
Existing experience with JavaScript may be useful, but a background in another software development language such as C#, Java, Python, PHP will stand you in good stead to attend this course.
Live, instructor-led online and on-site training
We appreciate that you need flexibility to fit in with new working situations - whether you're an individual, part of a distributed team, or simply have projects and deadlines to meet.
Our remote training can take place online in a virtual classroom, with content split into modules to accommodate your scheduling challenges and meet your learning goals. Get in touch today to find out how we can help design a cost-effective, flexible training solution.
As soon as it's safe, we'll return to also offering the on-site custom training courses and programmes upon which we've built our reputation.
