While HTML and CSS control the content and styling of a page, JavaScript is used to make it interactive. In the JavaScript Algorithm and Data Structures Certification, you'll learn the fundamentals of JavaScript including variables, arrays, objects, loops, and functions.

Once you have the fundamentals down, you'll apply that knowledge by creating algorithms to manipulate strings, factorialize numbers, and even calculate the orbit of the International Space Station.

Along the way, you'll also learn two important programming styles or paradigms: Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and Functional Programming (FP).

Major Topics:
  • Basic JavaScript
  • ES6
  • Regular Expressions
  • Debugging
  • Basic Data Structures
  • Basic Algorithm Scripting
  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Functional Programming
  • Intermediate Algorithm Scripting
  • JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Projects

    As a wife, mother, and grandmother looking to change careers, I find this bootcamp so helpful. I've been studying programming off and on for a few years now and trying to learn JS on my own has been a nightmare. I enjoy the live sessions (even though I have to catch them as a repeat due to working full time) the way Ramon takes the time to explain each concept has helped me to let my guard when it comes to JS. It's actually kinda of a fun language. I'm really thankful for this opportunity to be a part of this learning community.

    Very informative and immersive. Great learning resource with plenty of help when you get stuck whether it be the forums or the hints that are offered. Amazing way to learn JavaScript and critical thinking at your own pace.

    The JavaScript Bootcamp cohort that has been offered was a tremendous help in assisting in instructing the difficult to pick up concepts. The instructor was very knowledgeable, patient, and uplifting when we all solved solutions together.

    Easy to learn and follow through the questions, the only downside is that you might get stuck sometimes but you don't know who to ask. Am glad they introduced the JavaScript bootcamp, that has helped where i was stuck and also the lessons are lively and boring at all like reading alone.

    The JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures course is excellent for beginners. It covers JavaScript fundamentals, including variables, arrays, objects, loops, and functions. The course also introduces Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Functional Programming (FP). You’ll apply your knowledge through practical projects, such as manipulating strings and calculating orbits. It’s self-paced, allowing you to learn at your own speed. Overall, it’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their JavaScript skills and understanding of algorithms and data structures
