Organizing your JavaScript Code
This series digs in to the things you need to write larger and larger applications with JavaScript. This is where it gets real!
JavaScript in the Real World
Let's look at a few more practical applications of JavaScript and learn about a few useful tools that are widely used in the industry.
Asynchronous JavaScript and APIs
Asynchronous JavaScript
React JS
In this section you will learn the basics of the most popular frontend framework, React JS.
Testing JavaScript
Test driven development is an important skill in today's dev world. This section digs into the details of writing automated JavaScript tests.
JavaScript and the Backend
A real web app needs a back end in order to persist its data and do sensitive operations. Here you'll learn how to use ajax to send data requests to your Rails back end, and/or how to outsource your backend to a Backend-as-a-Service company like Firebase. You'll also get a chance to work with external APIs, which is something you'll probably find yourself doing quite frequently as you build your own projects in the future.
Finishing Up with Javascript
You've learned everything you need and all that remains to do is apply that knowledge to a worthy task. In this section, we'll briefly cover how to test Javascript using Jasmine and then get you started with your capstone project so you can show off your range of skills.
