In only seven hours you will learn enough JavaScript to transform from a junior javascript developer into a senior javascript guru.
You will dramatically improve your chances of getting past a technical interview, landing that dream job and earning more money.
If you are like me you learnt Javascript by just muddling along, seeing what works and learning a thing or two every day.
However, without a grasp of the deeper fundamentals, you will hit quite a few head scratchy issues, introduce bugs, find it hard to read and understand framework and library code and won’t be considered a senior developer.
This unique course teaches you advanced javascript knowledge through a series of interview questions, with regular quizzes on the way through to cement your knowledge.

Types & Equality: The different types in JS and how to check if two values are really equal?

Why an interview format?
I find that it's only when I'm facing an upcoming interview that I get into gear and really make sure I have a deep understanding of what I claim to know.
I might know the best practice for how to solve a problem, but do I know why?
Javascript interviews are designed to dig deeper into your knowledge of a subject, see if you are just mimicking what you have read or if you have a proper understanding.
Also, it's FUN, what's more satisfying than learning something, then passing a test!
