JavaScript

JavaScript is one of the world’s most popular programming languages – it’s initially developed to make web pages feel alive, rather than static.

Over the years, JavaScript has evolved to being used in many other platforms outside of the browser as seen with the Node.js (runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside of the web browser) and Electron platforms (for creating desktop applications). Now users are able to apply their JavaScript knowledge to tackle many different real-world challenges.

In our class, we focus on the HTML5 Canvas and use JavaScript to manipulate and create some awesome animations, games and pages. This allows visual learners to excel in understanding the core concepts behind the language as well as learn how to program. Although we focus on the creation of engaging projects, all of the skills learnt in the process are immediately transferable to real life applications. We teach computer science concepts such as:

• Conditional statements
• Loops
• Functions
• Arrays
• Data structures
• Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
• A.I. development
• Physics
• Coding best practices

Our JavaScript course allows us to explore students’ interests by teaching them how to create games and animations, while simultaneously having them experience one of the world’s most popular programming languages.

The language is always changing and new features are being added every day. The content is split based on the students’ level, and each level builds up to the next so it’s very friendly for all levels of programmers.
