Python isn’t the only language out there, and one of the other languages frequently fighting Python for the top of the “most popular” lists is JavaScript. JavaScript is the de facto language on the web but also has a robust toolset on the server side. This course explores JavaScript from a Python programmer’s perspective.
In this course, you will learn:
- Where JavaScript comes from and where it is used
- How JavaScript’s type system is different from Python’s
- How to write functions in JavaScript
- The two ways of creating objects in JavaScript
- General language syntax in JavaScript
- Surprises and behaviors in JavaScript that Python programmers wouldn’t expect
