- Classes & Object-Oriented Programming
- Error Handling
- Collections & Data
- Text Processing & Regular Expressions
- The Event Loop & Advanced Async
- Modules & Code Organization
- Advanced Functions & Iteration
- Professional JavaScript
Course curriculum
36 lessons across 8 modules. Lessons marked Free preview are readable without an account.
Module 1. Classes & Object-Oriented Programming
Bundle data and behaviour together with classes, inheritance, and private fields — and see the prototype machinery underneath
- 8mFrom Functions to ClassesFree preview
Why we bundle data and behaviour together — and how the class keyword turns a blueprint into as many objects as you need.
- 7mMethods, Getters & SettersFree preview
Give your classes behaviour — plus properties that compute themselves and guard their own values.
- 8mInheritance: extends & super
Build specialised classes on top of general ones — without copy-pasting a single method.
- 8mStatic Members & Private Fields
Attach helpers to the class itself with static — and truly lock internal data away with # private fields.
- 8mPrototypes: Under the Hood
Where do methods actually live? Meet the prototype chain — the mechanism behind every class, array method, and string method you've ever used.
- 8mPractice: Object-Oriented Thinking
Put the whole module together — classes, getters, inheritance, statics, and private fields in realistic mini-programs.
Module 2. Error Handling
Read stack traces, recover with try/catch, throw your own errors, and handle failures in async code
- 7mWhen Code Goes Wrong
The three kinds of failure, the anatomy of an error message, and how to read a stack trace like a map back to the bug.
- 7mtry, catch & finally
Stop one bad line from killing your whole program — catch exceptions, recover gracefully, and guarantee cleanup.
- 8mThrowing & Custom Errors
Throw your own exceptions when callers break your rules — and build custom error classes that say exactly what went wrong.
- 8mErrors in Async Code
Rejections, .catch(), try/catch with await — and the famous fetch gotcha that bites every JavaScript developer once.
Module 3. Collections & Data
Map, Set, JSON, localStorage, and dates — the tools for storing, moving, and persisting real data
- 7mMap: Key-Value Pairs Done Right
A purpose-built key-value collection — any key type, a real size, guaranteed order, and no inherited surprises.
- 6mSet: Collections of Unique Values
A collection that physically cannot contain duplicates — plus the one-line array dedupe every developer should know.
- 7mJSON: The Language of Data
How objects become text and text becomes objects — stringify, parse, and the round-trip every API request makes.
- 7mlocalStorage: Data That Survives Refresh
Persist settings, drafts, and progress in the browser — the JSON + localStorage combo behind every 'it remembered me!' moment.
- 8mDates & Times
Create dates, read their parts (mind the zero-indexed months!), measure durations with timestamps, and format for humans and machines.
Module 4. Text Processing & Regular Expressions
Describe text patterns with regex: search, validate, extract, and replace like a professional
- 7mWhat is a Regular Expression?
Describe text patterns instead of exact text — your first regex, the test() method, and the i flag.
- 8mCharacter Classes & Quantifiers
The real regex vocabulary: \d \w \s and [sets] for WHAT to match, + * ? {n} for HOW MANY.
- 8mGroups, match & replace
Go beyond yes/no: extract the matched text with match() and capture groups, find ALL matches with the g flag, and rewrite text with replace.
- 8mPractice: Regex Recipes
Read, predict, and complete real-world patterns — validation, extraction, and cleanup recipes you'll reuse for years.
Module 5. The Event Loop & Advanced Async
How JavaScript really runs your code — plus building promises, running work in parallel, and taming timers
- 9mThe Event Loop
The machinery behind every setTimeout and promise you've ever used — call stack, queues, and the loop that connects them.
- 8mCreating Your Own Promises
Stop only consuming promises — manufacture them: new Promise, resolve/reject, the wait() helper, and promisifying callback APIs.
- 8mPromise Superpowers: all, race & friends
Run promises in parallel instead of one-by-one — Promise.all, allSettled, race, and any, plus the sequential-await trap.
- 8mTimers, Debounce & Throttle
setInterval, cancelling timers — and the two rate-limiting patterns (debounce & throttle) behind every smooth search box.
- 8mPractice: Async Mastery
Event-loop tracing, combinator choices, and a real retry-with-delay helper — the whole module in working code.
Module 6. Modules & Code Organization
Split code across files with import/export, and understand npm, package.json, and real project structure
- 6mWhy Modules Exist
The one-giant-file problem, the global-scope disaster it causes, and the module idea that fixed JavaScript for good.
- 8mimport & export
Named exports, the default export, renaming with as — the sharing syntax you'll write every single day.
- 8mnpm & Real Project Structure
Packages, package.json, node_modules, semver, and the folder layout you'll find in virtually every JavaScript repo on Earth.
Module 7. Advanced Functions & Iteration
Closures for real, recursion, higher-order functions, the iteration protocol, and generators
- 8mClosures for Real
The backpack every function carries — private state without classes, function factories, and the pattern behind debounce.
- 8mRecursion: Functions That Call Themselves
Base case, recursive case, the call stack in action — and the nested-data problems where loops give up and recursion shines.
- 8mHigher-Order Functions
Functions in, functions out — build your own map, write function-makers, and see the pattern that unifies half this course.
- 8mIterators & Iterables
What for...of actually does — the next() contract, why strings/Maps/Sets all 'just work', and making your own objects loopable.
- 8mGenerators: Pausable Functions
function* and yield — functions that pause mid-run and resume on demand, making iterators trivial and infinite sequences possible.
Module 8. Professional JavaScript
Debugging like a pro, writing tests, clean-code habits, and a capstone that ties the whole course together
- 8mDebugging Like a Pro
Beyond console.log: the console's power tools, breakpoints with the debugger keyword, and the hypothesis-driven method professionals actually use.
- 8mTesting Fundamentals
Code that checks your code — test/expect, arrange-act-assert, edge cases, and why pure functions are a tester's best friend.
- 8mClean Code Essentials
Code is read far more than it's written — naming that carries meaning, guard clauses, honest functions, and comments that explain why.
- 12mCapstone: The Complete Picture
One real program — a habit tracker — built from classes, private fields, Map, JSON, localStorage, error handling, async, and closures. Plus your road ahead.
