Course Overview
Hi everyone. My name is Mark Zamoyta, and welcome to my course, JavaScript Fundamentals. I am a software developer and educator in the Tampa Bay area. JavaScript is the language of the web, and you'll need a fundamental understanding of this language to create great applications and web pages on the internet. This course was developed to teach you the key JavaScript syntax and features you'll need to learn as a successful web developer. Some of the major topics that we will cover include the latest JavaScript syntax improvements, organizing your code into classes and modules, communicating with web services, error handling and security, and much more. By the end of this course, you'll know how to set up a JavaScript development environment and create great JavaScript applications for the web. Before beginning this course, you should have some familiarity with JavaScript. My Pluralsight course, JavaScript: Getting Started, is a good starting point if you've never used JavaScript before. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn JavaScript programming with the JavaScript Fundamentals course, at Pluralsight.
