Welcome to the Intermediate JavaScript Nanodegree Program

Lesson 1

Welcome to Udacity

Lesson 2

Getting Help

You are starting a challenging but rewarding journey! Take 5 minutes to read how to get help with projects and content.

Course 2 3 weeks

Object-Oriented JavaScript

Lesson 1

Objects in Depth

Objects in JavaScript encapsulate both data and functionality. You'll create, access, and modify objects to build a solid foundation for object-oriented programming.

Lesson 2

Functions at Runtime

Functions are one of most important data structures. Learn what a "first-class function" is, learn about scope, dig into closures, and use immediately-invoked function expressions for private state.

Lesson 3

Classes and Objects

Creating objects individually isn't sustainable. Learn how to create similar objects with ease using Classes. You'll also learn how object inheritance works through Prototypal Inheritance.

Lesson 4

Object-Oriented Design Patterns

Discover object-oriented design patterns that can be used to create an object -- all without involving its prototype. What's more: you'll also learn how to implement private properties in objects.

Lesson 5 • Project

Project: Dinosaurs

Course 3 4 weeks

Functional Programming

Lesson 1

Course Introduction - Functional Programming

Introduction to the course on Functional Programming with JavaScript

Lesson 2

Introduction to Functional Programming

Foundational Introduction to Functional Programming in JavaScript

Lesson 3

Functional JS Syntax

Experience writing functional programming with JavaScript & ES6 syntax

Lesson 4

Functional Programming in JS

Practice applying what you've learned so far into creating functional programs and bring clarity to how React works behind the scenes.

Lesson 5

Going Further with Functional JS

Going further with Functional Programming and common tools to solve traditional problems in web development.

Lesson 6 • Project

Mars Dashboard

In this project, you will create a dashboard that consumes the NASA API and applies all the functional programming learned throughout this course.

Course 4 4 weeks

Asynchronous Programming with JavaScript

Lesson 1

Introduction to Asynchronous Programming

Introduction to the course and concepts to be covered in this course.

Lesson 2

Synchronous Concepts and Asynchronous Callbacks

To create a foundation for asynchronous programming concepts, we start with a discussion of synchronous code and the concepts of blocking vs non-blocking, then learn to use asynchronous callbacks.

Lesson 3

Sequencing Events - Promises

This lesson goes from basic Promise syntax all the way to implementing Promises, Fetch, and Promise methods.

Lesson 4

Sequencing Events - Async/Await

This lesson will get you acquainted with the Async/Await syntax introduced in ES8. Let's master the code and principles behind this helpful addition designed to make asynchronous flows easier.
