Free JavaScript course launched: The Last Dev Standing

Fasttrack Technology Academy has published a free JavaScript course, The Last Dev Standing, on our YouTube channel.

Read more

The series walks you step by step from the very beginning — before you write JavaScript, installing Node.js and console.log — through variables, data types, operators, template literals and string methods, then on to if/else, switch, loops, functions, arrow functions and callbacks, arrays and array methods, objects, Map and Set, and working with the DOM.

It follows an earlier chapter-by-chapter CSS series on the channel, so beginners can learn the core building blocks of the web in order.

Follow along for free at thelastdevstanding.com and on youtube.com/@fsttechacademy. When you're ready to go further with mentoring and real projects, our adult coding bootcamp is the next step.
