# JavaScript Programming Bootcamp Canonical URL: ## Overview Modern web applications must be optimized to handle large amounts of fast-moving data. How do we do this with JavaScript? In this course, you’ll learn how JavaScript works and begin coding web applications. ## What you'll learn - Fundamentals of JavaScript programming from the ground up - Variables, conditional logic (if-else), arrays, objects, and loops - Latest ES6 and ES7 features, including arrow functions, let, and const - Functions, parameters, arguments, and return values - Higher-level functions and callbacks - Array and string methods - Asynchronous JavaScript with promises and async-await - APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) - Parsing and working with JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data - OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) and modules - Coding interview challenge prep - Projects and portfolio development - JavaScript libraries ## Prerequisites Students should feel comfortable coding HTML and basic CSS. You should have knowledge equivalent to our [Web Development Level 1](/classes/coding-classes-new-york-city-nyc) class. ## Curriculum #### Variables - Strings, numbers, booleans; var vs let - NaN, Number() method, null, error messages - Nested quotes string concatenation / Interpolation - Math object, math operators, random numbers #### Conditional Logic - If / else if / else; block scoped variables - Nested logic; truthy / falsey values - Ternary expressions; switch-case-break - Date-Object; the “new” keyword #### Functions and the DOM (Document Object Model) - Function parameters / arguments; return values - DOM (Document Object Model) events - DOM Project: Log In form - DOM Project: Restaurant Bill Calculator form - DOM Project: Signup form - Hoisting; function expressions; anonymous functions - DOM Project: Apartment Rent Estimator form - Keyboard events; setting CSS with JS - DOM Project: Mystery Number Guessing Game #### Arrays and Objects - Arrays: item index; nested arrays - Objects: the “const” keyword; properties; nested objects - Array Methods: push(), pop(), sort(), splice(), et al - String methods: replace(), includes(), charAt(), et al #### Loops - For Loops; iterating (looping) arrays - Looping Arrays of Objects - While / Do While Loops, Nested Loops - DOM Project: Making deck of cards & dealing hand - Passing arrays to functions - Classic Coding Interview Questions / Challenges #### Creating DOM Elements Dynamically - Creating elements: createElement(), appendChild() - DOM Project: Chinese Zodiac Animals; Audio() - DOM Project: Password Generator - DOM Project: Lottery Ticket Generator - Dynamically adding properties to Arrays of objects - DOM Project: Sort Movies by Title, Year and Duration #### Array Callbacks & Arrow Functions - Callbacks: Functions that take functions as arguments - Array Callback Methods: map(), filter(); method chaining - Arrow =\> Functions - forEach() method, instead of a for loop - reduce() method #### Timer for Calling Functions and Animation - setInterval() runs a callback function repeatedly on a delay - setTimeout() runs a callback function once only on a delay - DOM Project: Update Digital Clock every Second - DOM Project: Coffee Site with Animated “Clock-Guy” Hands - DOM Project: Deal Hands of Poker & Blackjack on Timer #### Asynchronous Events & APIs - Synchronous vs Asynchronous Events - JSON (JavaScript Object Notation); parse & stringify - DOM Project: Lyric Search API; Promises - DOM Project: Cryptocurrency Prices API; Async-Await - Adding a Search Box to Website to Filter API Request #### OOP (Object Oriented Programming) - Function Objects; Prototype - “Class” keyword; constructor() method; private vs public - DOM Project: OOP Memory Game, Pt 1 - DOM Project: OOP Memory Game, Pt 2 - Modules: Exporting and Importing Classes ## Schedule - Jul 27, 2026 – Aug 27, 2026 — NYC - Oct 5, 2026 – Nov 5, 2026 — NYC ## Instructors ### Dan Rodney — School Director, Instructor, & Senior Course Developer Dan Rodney has been a designer and web developer for over 20 years, creating coursework and leading innovative training initiatives at Noble Desktop.
