In this course, you will build on your understanding of fundamental Python and learn some more advanced skills, including how to work with files on your computer's disk, how to retrieve data using a web API, and how to use Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to create your own classes, objects, and methods.
Intro to JavaScript
Learn the basics of JavaScript! You will learn how to create and use the primary data types in JavaScript and use conditionals and loops to control the flow of your JavaScript code.
