Application of:

  • variables and scope
  • if, switch, while, for
  • Functions And Arrays

  • DOM selection
  • Event handling ( binding, this )
  • Higher order functions
  • Handling user input
  • Local / session storage
  • Arrow functions
  • Timers and intervals
    in practice, simulated in real world cases.


    GENERAL (apples to all course components):
    Code is developed with cross browser & cross device equivalent behaviour in mind.
    Code quality is a large part of the course. Several best practices as well as "Don't"s will be handled by means of examples.
Working with git is an integral part of this course, for completing exercises and handing in assignments
