Whether you are a complete beginner or you have some knowledge of JavaScript, this course will guide you from the basics of the language to all the new features introduced up until 2021.  You’ll test your knowledge with quizzes and some coding challenges at the end of each chapter. 

After following this course, the functions and variables let, const, generators, promises and async won't be a problem anymore.

If you want to experience something new, this course also includes an introduction to the basics of TypeScript, which is a must-know for any JavaScript developer.

Just completed this amazing ebook  by @montalesi. I would recommend anyone who is looking to upgrade their es6, 7 or 8 knowledge to go through the book once. It is short crisp and to the point and serves as a great resource that you can go through in limited time

I have been working as a front-end developer for over 5 years but I am still reading the book by @montalesi because I find it really exhaustive and well written.

The Complete Guide to Modern JavaScript

# Set up your environment

If you already have a code editor installed on your computer and you know how to use the `chrome developer tools` or similar tools, then you can skip this chapter and move on.

In order for you to play around with the code we’re going to use in this course, I suggest you download a code editor that you can use to write and run the `JavaScript` code that we’ll go over.

My personal choice is Visual Studio Code, made by Microsoft and available for free here: https://code.visualstudio.com/

Other alternatives are:

- Atom: https://atom.io/
- Sublime Text: https://www.sublimetext.com/

Whatever is your choice, they should all meet your coding needs.

After installing it, you just have to open the software, create a new file and save it as `.js`. Then you’ll have your first JavaScript file.

The second thing we’ll look at are the developer tools.

Open your browser to any page and right click somewhere. You’ll see a set of options, one of which is `inspect` or `inspect element`. Click on it and it will open the developer tools that you can use to look at web pages code, play around with JavaScript or debug your application.

This lesson will teach you how to setup your own environment if you want to try the examples of this course on your machine
