Instructional Approach

When it comes to learning a new programming languages for those who already know programming, there are two general type of audience: those who prefer to learn by doing, and those who prefer learning concepts from the ground up. This course is designed to serve both groups.

We alternate between step-by-step tutorial lessons where we learn by doing (building applications), and concept-focused lessons where we dissect a part of the language and learn all there is to learn about it.

For instance, in this lecture we will build a very simple web app (learn by doing). In the next lecture, we will learn about JavaScript basics (how to declare variables, what are the data types, ...).
