About Course

This free short course gives you a clear start in JavaScript. You will learn how to store information, make decisions in code and repeat tasks with loops. Short lessons and weekly exercises are guided by our short course team in Rondebosch. You need no earlier coding experience, only a laptop and some curiosity. By the end you can write small programs that run in your browser.

What Will You Learn?

  • Practise your new skills with hands-on exercises (worked solutions included)
  • Organise your work into clear steps you can repeat on your own projects
  • Get friendly, fast support from tutors in the course Q&A
  • Downloadable notes, files and worksheets for every project
