JavaScript Language
Course

Master foundational programming skills covering JavaScript fundamentals and TypeScript introduction for modern web development.

Course Overview

This one-day course introduces learners to JavaScript and TypeScript, equipping them with foundational programming skills for web development. JavaScript, a dynamic and versatile language created in 1995 by Brendan Eich, is essential for adding interactivity to websites and can also run server-side with Node.js.

The course covers JavaScript's core syntax, including variables (declared with let, const, or var), expressions, and operators (arithmetic, logical, relational) for performing operations, as well as control flow statements like if and for loops to manage program execution. Learners will explore practical applications through hands-on exercises.

Building on JavaScript, the course introduces TypeScript, a superset developed by Microsoft that enhances JavaScript with static typing and object-oriented features. By the end of the day, attendees will gain a solid foundation in both languages, enabling them to write reliable, maintainable code and understand when to use JavaScript or TypeScript based on project needs.

Learning Outcomes

Master 16 comprehensive learning outcomes covering JavaScript fundamentals, TypeScript introduction, and practical application skills.

JavaScript Fundamentals
Recall the definition and primary uses of JavaScript as a programming language for web development
List the key differences between JavaScript and TypeScript, including TypeScript's static typing feature
Identify basic JavaScript syntax components, such as variables, operators, and control flow statements
Explain how to declare, assign, and reassign variables in JavaScript using let, const, and var
Describe the role of operators (arithmetic, logical, relational) and control flow statements (if, for) in JavaScript programs
TypeScript Introduction
State the purpose of TypeScript's type annotations and interfaces in enhancing code reliability
Summarize the benefits of TypeScript's type safety for catching errors during development
Interpret how object-oriented concepts like classes and inheritance are implemented in TypeScript
Implement a basic TypeScript function with type annotations to process user input, ensuring type safety
Apply TypeScript's class syntax to create an object with properties and methods, such as a simple 'Person' class
Practical Application & Analysis
Write a JavaScript program using variables, operators, and a control flow statement to perform a simple task
Use JavaScript's string operators or methods to manipulate text, such as concatenating strings
Differentiate between JavaScript's dynamic typing and TypeScript's static typing in terms of error prevention
Analyze a short JavaScript code snippet to identify the role of its control flow and operators
Compare the use of a JavaScript function versus a TypeScript function with type annotations for a specific task
Examine a TypeScript class to determine how its structure improves code organization compared to plain JavaScript
