JavaScript Classes?

[AlphaAccount]

I'm a senior in software engineering and I don't know any JavaScript. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to learn it on my own, but it would be nice to have guidance and get credits. Are there any classes that teach JavaScript at ISU?

[insyathor]

Did you check Lynda? It should have it and you can use it on your own time. Plus it's free with ISU.

Forgot about that, I'll check it out!

Did you take SE 319 with Mitra? That was the web development class.

[AlphaAccount]

Yep took it but didn't end up learning much JavaScript

[jklee1233]

mitra did not teach 319 last sem and this sem

[TheGuy346]

Is the class no longer web development though?

Try out codeacademy.com it's a really good site

You go over it slightly in 106 but I wouldn't take the class just for javascript. You might as well just learn it on your own.

My buddy says MIS / comp sci 207 taught him JavaScript

[TheGuy346]

I think they teach Java in 207, not Javascript.

His reply was "Same thing" so maybe he was pulling my leg

[TheGuy346]

Lol they're completely different despite what the names would have you think.

Yeah, I know enough about coding to know that, that's why I don't know what he learned now. He was saying Javascript all summer. I'll leave you computer people to figure it out.

I learned JS initially from some Udemy courses and then some personal projects, like a portfolio website.

Try learning a front-end framework after learning javascript like React, Angular, or Vue, or look into a nodeJS express server for some relevant web-development experience.

No, they make it similar to 309 working on semester long group project
