Learn the incredibly popular and in demand JavaScript language. This course makes no assumptions of prior computer programming experience. We begin with the very basics and slowly but surely work our way up to writing JavaScript code to power every aspect of an application.
Learn JavaScript: Full-Stack from Scratch

Requirements:
- No prerequisite knowledge required; the only thing you need is a computer (that you are allowed to install software on) and an internet connection.
There are countless JavaScript courses in the world; here's what makes this one unique:
A strong emphasis on the "why" and not just the "how"
As few assumptions as possible; it's a pet peeve of mine when instructors assume I know something I don't
As few "just download my existing project to get you up and running" moments as possible. It's another pet peeve of mine when instructors have you use an existing solution that just "automagically" works and you miss a potential learning experience of setting it up yourself. We do copy-and-paste HTML templates (since the focus of the course is not about HTML) but aside from that I explain things from the ground up.
This course may be brand new, but this isn’t my first time teaching. I’ve led training sessions for Fortune 500 companies and I’ve already helped over 65,000 people on Udemy and received the following feedback:
Become highly valuable and relevant to the companies that are hiring JavaScript developers; in one convenient place alongside one instructor. If you're ready to begin coding your own applications from the ground up - I'll see you on the inside!
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who might be interested in starting a career in computer programming (no experience required).
What you'll learn:
- The JavaScript language itself
- How to control a database (MongoDB) with JavaScript
- How to control the Web Browser with JavaScript
- How to implement user registration, log-in, log-out & user generated content
- How to setup a server by using Node JS and Express
About the Author: Udemy
Udemy is the largest open marketplace for online courses on the internet. Founded in 2010 by Eren Bali, Oktay Caglar, and Gagan Biyani and headquartered in San Francisco, the company went public on the Nasdaq in 2021 under the ticker UDMY. The platform hosts well over two hundred thousand courses across software development, IT and cloud, data science, design, business, marketing, and creative skills, taught by tens of thousands of independent instructors. Roughly seventy million learners use it worldwide, and the corporate arm — Udemy Business — supplies a curated subset of that catalog to enterprise customers.
Because Udemy is a marketplace rather than a single editorial publisher, the catalog is uneven by design. The strongest material lives in the long-form, project-based courses authored by working engineers — full-stack JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python data science, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes, mobile development with Flutter and React Native, and cloud certification preparation. The CourseFlix listing under this source is the slice of that catalog that has been mirrored here for offline-friendly viewing, organized by topic and updated as new releases land. Pricing on Udemy itself swings dramatically with the site's near-permanent sales, which is why the platform is best treated as a deep reference catalog: pick instructors with strong reviews and a track record of updating their material rather than buying on the headline price alone.
