Learn JavaScript - Full Course for Beginners

My name is Beau Carnes.

And I’m with freeCodeCamp.org.

In this full Javascript course you will learn everything you need to know to get started with Javascript.

This course is perfect for beginners or anyone that just wants a refresher on basic Javascript syntax.

This course actually goes along with the freeCodeCamp.org Javascript curriculum.

So, if you want some live coding challenges to go along with every part of this course,

you can check the link in the description to that curriculum.

But this is a completely standalone video.

So, you don’t need to go through freeCodeCamp.org, but it could be helpful.

Also, after this course, you’re going to want to complete some, or build some Javascript projects.

So, I have a link in the description to some project tutorials.

But then after that, you’re going to want to create some projects on your own.

That’s how you really learn Javascript.

You have to create things without going through a tutorial

and just use a search engine to find the things that you don’t know or need to learn.

To go along with the freeCodeCamp curriculum, I have all the ES6 stuff in the second part of this course.

That’s pretty much it.

Let’s learn some Javascript.

[Running Javascript]

So, how exactly do you install Javascript?

Well, for the most part, you don’t.

Actually, all web browsers can run Javascript.

Which is great because a lot of devices have web browsers on them.

So, when you write something with Javascript,

it will run on all sorts of devices and operating systems.

So, you have a few options for writing Javascript.

Let me show you a few things you can do to follow along with this course.

You could download a code editor.

Here, I have Sublime Text.

You can also use Visual Studio Code or Atom or any code editor.

And I’ve created an HTML file because HTML files can be opened in web browsers.

And I have these <script> tags – these are HTML tags.

But within our <script> tags, we have our Javascript.

So, if I open up this file in a web browser, it looks like this.

Well, I can open up my Javascript console.

And in the console, you can see it says “hello world.”

That’s right from my Javascript program.

So, whenever you do console.log, it’s going to show on the console here.

You can also just use the code editor that’s included on freeCodeCamp.org.
