Simplifying JavaScript: A Handy Guide for Software Engineers

# Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone who has a little programming experience. It helps to
have some JavaScript experience, but that’s not strictly necessary. I’ll assume
that you know some basic programming concepts, such as *loops, conditionals,
functions, and classes*. In short, if you’ve seen modern JavaScript and you’re
excited to learn more, then this course is for you.


You may feel like you woke up in a strange new world. That’s not a bad thing.
In fact, this new world is awesome—the coffee’s brewing, and the aroma of
fresh-baked danishes makes this new world a place you want to wake up to.
JavaScript is better than ever—it’s time to enjoy it.
