syllabus

1. JavaScript Fundamentals:

  • Introduction: History, execution environment (browser, Node.js), basic syntax.
  • Variables and Data Types: varletconst, primitive types (strings, numbers, booleans, null, undefined, BigInt, Symbol), reference types (objects, arrays).
  • Operators: Arithmetic, assignment, comparison, logical, bitwise, ternary.
  • Control Flow: Conditional statements (if-elseswitch), loops (forwhiledo-whilefor...infor...of).
  • Functions: Declaration, expression, arrow functions, parameters, return values, scope (global, local, block), closures, hoisting.

2. Objects and Arrays:

  • Arrays: Creating, manipulating (methods like pushpopspliceslice), iteration (e.g., forEachmapfilterreduce).
  • Objects: Creating, properties, methods, dot and bracket notation, built-in objects (e.g., MathDate).
  • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts: Prototypes, inheritance, classes (ES6), this keyword.

3. Browser-Side JavaScript (DOM Manipulation and Events):

  • Document Object Model (DOM): Selecting and manipulating HTML elements, changing styles, creating and deleting nodes.
  • Event Handling: Event listeners, event propagation (bubbling, capturing), event object.
  • Browser Object Model (BOM): window object, locationnavigatortimers (e.g., setTimeoutsetInterval).

4. Asynchronous JavaScript:

  • Asynchronous Programming: Callbacks, Promises, async/await.
  • APIs: Introduction to working with web APIs (e.g., Fetch API for HTTP requests).

5. Advanced Topics (Optional, depending on course depth):

  • Error Handling: try-catch, custom errors.
  • Modules: ES6 modules (import/export).
  • Testing: Introduction to testing frameworks (e.g., Jest).
  • Modern JavaScript Features: Destructuring, spread/rest operators, optional chaining, nullish coalescing.
  • Server-Side JavaScript: Introduction to Node.js and its ecosystem.
  • Frameworks and Libraries: Brief overview or introduction to popular frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js.
