How is this course different from the other online courses?

Strong focus on helping you become a self-sufficient developer. In this course, you won’t just learn to code for the sake of coding. You will learn effective research tips and how to integrate third party services so that you can independently learn and build your own projects.
Unique cryptocurrency x programming focus – build coding skills that are relevant to a hot emerging technology.
Actually build a useful project (not just a basic flash game, calculator or local webpage) that can potentially add value to your life.
Dual overview of JavaScript and NodeJS (many courses only just cover one of them).
Simple and clean animations to explain concepts. Not just a plain bulletpoint lecture.
Low time investment. Max 90 minutes. This course can help you consider whether to invest further in other courses.

Course structure

This course has three parts:

Part One

Why learn JavaScript?
How to get things set up (consoles and code editors)
How to use the console in your browser
Fundamentals: variables, comments and functions

Part Two

Web scraping (i.e. a technique to extract data from a website so that you can use the website data in your programs)
Website structure (HTML, CSS and Document Object Model (DOM))
Scraping crypto prices from the CoinMarketCap website
Debugging and research techniques
Fundamentals: conditional logic (if/else), asynchronous programming, objects, arrays and loops.
End outcome: Your first program (runs in the browser) that can automatically retrieve cryptocurrency prices without you have to manually search them up!

Part Three

Upgrading and cleaning up the program from Part Two
NodeJS (installation and how to use it)
Fundamentals: dependencies/libraries and APIs
Setting up and connecting to Twilio API (with free trial account) to automatically send text messages to your phone
End outcome: A NodeJS program that can automatically retrieve cryptocurrency prices and notify you via SMS text whenever one of the prices hits a certain threshold!
