Coercion in JavaScript

3 hours, 1 minutes

This course has been updated! We now recommend you take the Deep JavaScript Foundations, v3 course.

Most people will cite coercion and the == operator as the black magic that should never show up in your programs. Not only is coercion much easier to learn and properly apply than you've believed, but avoiding it is missing out on important clarifications in style and readability of your code.

This course and others like it are available as part of our Frontend Masters video subscription.
