Here are some of the best udemy courses I took on JavaScript:
2nd year summers: I barely had any knowledge of JavaScript. I had just begun. I took the famous The Complete JavaScript Course 2021: From Zero to Expert and undoubtedly it is a great course. The instructor will walk you step-by-step into the world of JavaScript as you develop new skills and improve your understanding with every tutorial. This JavaScript is packed with practical exercises which are based on real-life examples.
3rd year: I took the JavaScript course on Udacity. I think the courses in Udacity are great for beginners. The best part is that the courses follow an application based approach rather than getting deep into the theory. Note that that’s just a personal choice. If you are interested in theoretical JS, you should prefer sticking to Udemy.
4th year: In 4th year, I did not take online courses. I rather took offline one – JS and Advanced JS. Both courses were theory heavy and in fact, given that I already knew the basics of JS through the online courses, understanding theory became much easier.
Recently, I had been exploring various platforms for online courses on JS so that I can increase my knowledge. Udemy is arguably one of the most popular ones. However, I got to know of a relatively unknown platform named Eduonix where I found a great course on JavaScript.
which uses “project-based” learning approach. Taking such an approach is quite beneficial:
- You get to learn.
- You get to apply.
- You get to showcase projects on your resume.
I believe that taking a course for the sake of it may not be the best. Many students take the course for getting a certificate of completion.
A better approach would be to take courses so that you can attempt projects that you are eventually able to showcase on your resume. This way, you can create a great interview story.
Basically, during the interview, you can talk about the specific projects you implemented and explain the underlying concepts. This is far better than just saying “I completed so and so course where I got a certificate”.
To summarize, aim for online courses that not only help you learn but also help you build your resume.
