Advanced JavaScript Programming

In this Advanced JavaScript Programming training course, you will learn advanced JavaScript techniques that include working with the new ECMAScript 2015 (“ES6”) release. The course includes a thorough exploration of advanced objects, arrays, and functions; the XMLHttpRequest (Ajax) API; and working with JSON. Finally, you will learn to handle errors and exceptions and to use regular expressions in JavaScript.

1. Learn to recognize/handle scope, including ES6 techniques for controlling the scope of a variable
2. Learn to use prototyping, ES6 classes, and advanced JavaScript objects like maps and sets
3. Learn advanced techniques for working with functions, including default values and flexible arguments, closures, immediately-invoked function expressions (IIFEs), and recursion
4. Learn to use advanced array methods and properties
5. Learn to use the XMLHttpRequest API to make Ajax calls and techniques for dealing with the same-origin policy
6. Learn to use the JSON data format in JavaScript
7. Learn to use try/catch/finally for handling errors
8. Learn to use regular expressions in JavaScript
