JavaScript 2 Course Overview
The JavaScript 2 course comprises sessions dealing with values and references, strict mode, arrays, scope, ES6, functional JavaScript, asynchronous JavaScript, reactive JavaScript and unit testing.
The delegate will learn about the inner workings of the JavaScript language to better enable them to write complex code and to troubleshoot.
Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.
Course Objectives
This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to interpret, write, and troubleshoot complex JavaScript code exploiting strict mode, closures, IIFEs, ES6, functional programming, asynchronous JavaScript, and reactive programming.
Who will the Course Benefit?
The JavaScript 2 course is designed for JavaScript developers who want to know more about the inner workings of the language so as to better equip themselves to write complex code and to troubleshoot. It is also intended to familiarise the delegates with modern approaches to coding with JavaScript including functional and reactive programming.
The course will also benefit those JavaScript developers who are familiar with JavaScript as it relates to ECMAScript version 5, and want to learn about what's new in ECMAScript version 6 (ES2015).
Skills Gained
The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:
- Working with primitive and reference variables
- Testing for equality
- Coding in strict mode
- Working with associative arrays
- Determining and affecting the scope of a variable
- Coding in ECMAScript version 6 (ES2015)
- Functional programming
- Coding asynchronously
- Reactive programming using RxJS
- Unit testing

Requirements
Delegates should be able to build JavaScript applications that exploit all fundamental elements of the language including variables and expressions, conditions and loops, functions, objects, arrays, the DOM, and event handling.
This knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the pre-requisite JavaScript 1 course.

Course Reviews
Well delivered by Alan; very personable and easy to work with. Very knowledgeable.
Andrew - Snr SP Dev - Leisure
Had an amazing experience with Alan on the JS2 course. Alan did a great job of keeping the course engaging (even with my wandering brain). No question went unanswered. He adapted to suit my requirements, focusing on my gaps in knowledge and even going the extra mile to show me technologies that will aid me in my upcoming work project. Would definitely recommend this course to others who want to learn more about JavaScript.
Peter - Web Developer - Academic
The course had good structure and progressively built on the knowledge we had obtained. The case study brought the content to life and allowed us to obtain feedback from Stuart as we were going along. Stuart has inspired me go away and learn more about JavaScript!
Finchley
Excellent course run by Stuart Bailey, perfect code examples made the topics easier to understand, much better than death by PowerPoint.
Jamie - Junior Cloud Engineer
