Full Stack JavaScript
Full stack JavaScript developers are highly in-demand. They know how to work with the frontend, backend, and server side of a web application—the "full stack"—via JavaScript.
JavaScript powers the interactivity and user experience on every major website. From user interfaces that provide richer desktop-like experiences to real-time data and messaging applications, you'll find JavaScript in the browser, on your phone, and on the server.
Full stack JavaScript developers working with different frameworks, libraries and languages will know how to use JavaScript in nearly every facet of their work.
In this track, we'll introduce you to the JavaScript language, and the ins-and-outs of adding interactivity in the browser.
Once you're up to speed with JavaScript in the browser, you'll learn Node.js, a popular JavaScript platform for writing and using JavaScript applications outside of the browser. For example, command line applications for improving your workflow, dynamic websites, and much more.

JavaScript Numbers
Numbers are everywhere in programming. You use them to track a player's score in a game, calculate the cost of shipping a product, or count the number of times a "Like" button gets clicked on a page. In this course, you'll learn how to use numbers for useful tasks in your JavaScript programs, including doing math, converting strings to numbers, generating random numbers, and more.

Interacting with the DOM
Along with selecting DOM elements in JavaScript we can also write code that gives elements behavior. In this course we will first explore how to watch for interaction and respond using the method addEventListener. We'll learn about different types of events and how we can use the relationships between elements to write more powerful code.

AJAX Basics
AJAX is an important front-end web technology that lets JavaScript communicate with a web server. It lets you load new content without leaving the current page, creating a better, faster experience for your website's visitors. In this course, you'll learn how AJAX works and how you can use JavaScript to communicate with a web server. We'll use plain JavaScript to create AJAX requests and use the response to dynamically update your web pages. Along the way, you'll build mini-projects to reinforce your learning.
