Lessons: 16Length: 2 hours
In this course we'll cover the basics and some common advanced pitfalls of JavaScript, framed in a way that will make sense to PHP developers with intermediate to advanced skills. If you know PHP, need to use JavaScript, but can't make sense of it, this course will walk you through converting a small Slim PHP application into a similar JavaScript app so you can see how the concepts relate.
We've built a comprehensive guide to help you learn JavaScript, whether you're just getting started as a web developer or you want to explore more advanced topics:
