This course focuses on enhancing your JavaScript skills by working with asynchronous programming, APIs, logical operators, and objects. You will learn how to fetch and handle API data using modern techniques such as async/await and promises, efficiently managing multiple asynchronous operations. Additionally, you’ll explore the use of logical operators like ||, &&, and nullish coalescing to write cleaner, more efficient code. The course also covers object manipulation in depth, including working with inbuilt methods, the spread operator, and cloning techniques. Throughout the course, you'll tackle practical coding challenges to solidify your understanding of JavaScript concepts like this binding, short-circuiting, and object method handling.

Syllabus

Asynchronous JavaScript and APIs

In this section, you will learn how to make asynchronous API requests using JavaScript, manage promises, and handle asynchronous operations efficiently using modern techniques such as async/await and Promise.all().

Logical Operators and Coalescing

In this section, you will learn to use short-circuiting, nullish coalescing, and optional chaining to write more efficient and error-resistant JavaScript.

Working with objects

In this section, you will learn essential object manipulation techniques in JavaScript, including methods, property validation, cloning, and the correct use of this.
