What you'll learn
JavaScript is very popular and easy to get started with for front-end web applications, but large JavaScript applications bring maintenance nightmares such as fast deprecation, weird runtime errors, and challenges with adding new features. Elm offers the high maintainability of purely functional languages combined with a short learning curve. Elm code is compiled into JavaScript code, and the compiler acts like a friendly assistant that helps you prevent future bugs. In this course, Elm 0.19 Fundamentals, you will feel comfortable with the fundamental concepts of the Elm language and the Elm architecture for web applications. First, you will learn the basics of the Elm language, such as data types and functions. Next, you will explore building interactive web applications. Finally, you will discover how to work with external data, such as data from an API or from some JavaScript code. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to start building reliable front-end web applications.
