What They're Saying
Amazing course. Kyle is an extremely knowledgeable, and engaging, speaker. The way he walks through some of the underlying algorithms so that the viewer can understand them is great. I'm getting a ton of information from every video that I watch.

Until I had watched this course, I was writing JavaScript in a way it was not meant to be written. I was essentially trying to implement my understanding of concepts gained from other languages (python etc...) into JavaScript. And that's a situation for disaster. Through this course, I've learned to embrace JavaScript for what it truly is. I'm thankful for this course to exist and I hope more and more people get to experience the true potential of JavaScript. 10/10 highly recommended.

I know of no other resource that goes this deep into fundamentals of JS, this course really is a thorough deep dive into internals of JS which I would have never stumbled by myself.

Great course on JavaScript foundations, as the name says it's really deep. I highly recommend you should go through the entire lectures whatever experience you may have on the language. If you wanted to take one lectures on JavaScript, this is the one. In many instances, you will get to understand why the JavaScript works the way it was and explained this straight from the spec. Many aha moments and enjoyed taking the course.

It's been such an eye opener getting to understand the foundational JavaScript concepts with the 3 pillars of JS: Types and Coersion, Scope and Closure, 'this' keyword & the Prototype system with the 'class' keyword. Excited to apply the concepts to my own projects.😁

Great intro to Node.js by Kyle Simpson. I appreciate the points about the inception of Node.js and the rationale behind choosing JavaScript as an main language. It's important to understand which types of tasks are well-suited for Node.js.
