It took a few weeks, but finally, I have gotten my first draft of the JavaScript course I have been working on. You can start working through it for free today!

Since I did not write it in an order that makes complete sense, here is the order I would work through things:

  1. Introduction to JavaScript

  2. Document Object Model (DOM)

  3. Primitive Data Types

  4. Operators

  5. Expressions

  6. Declaring and Assigning Variables

  7. Arrays

  8. Working with Strings

  9. Objects

  10. Functions

  11. Scope

  12. Event Listeners

  13. Event Bubbling

  14. Conditionals

  15. Loops in JavaScript

  16. Array Functions: forEach, map, and filter

  17. Asynchronous JavaScript

  18. Promises in JavaScript

  19. Using APIs in JavaScript

  20. Destructuring

  21. Breaking Your Code into Modules

  22. Introduction to JavaScript Frameworks and Libraries

  23. Building a Blackjack Game with JavaScript

The goal will be to create an eBook and video series from this content. Until then, I am seeking feedback or thoughts on what we should add/remove to make it more accessible to newbies.

If you have any feedback, let me know in the comments, and we can improve it together.

Something I have been enjoying

How Big Things Get Done

I have been digging into this book lately (again), and it is really eye-opening.

Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner explain why big projects often fail and how to get them done right. Their book is packed with real-world examples and practical tips that will make you rethink how you tackle any big goal.

Whether you are planning a massive project or just trying to finish that home renovation, this book has some seriously useful insights. It is a quick, engaging read that might save you a ton of headaches (and money).

That is it for this week!

If you have any ideas or feedback, reply to this email.

Thanks, and stay awesome,

Niall
