Programming Foundations with JavaScript: Intermediate

Summary

In this course, we'll delve a little deeper into working with data structures such as strings, arrays, and objects. We'll also learn how to work with collections, particularly in conjunction with the widely-used iterative methods such as forEach, map, filter, reduce, and others. Finally, we'll fine-tune our problem-solving process and learn to use it by working on more complex programs, and get familiar with using debugging tools.

Major Topics

  • JavaScript data structures and when to use them: strings, arrays, and objects
  • Iteration methods in JavaScript: forEach, map, filter, and more
