I recently finished\u00a0an interesting course on the DOM and different versions of JavaScript. I liked that it was just a taste of JavaScript, jQuery, Angular, and React. It’s called The DOM in JavaScript, jQuery, AngularJS, and React<\/em>. It was released in 2017.<\/p>\n

Much of the course was focused on regular JavaScript. I’m glad I’ve spent so much time studying JavaScript, because a lot of basic things didn’t need to be explained for me in this course.<\/p>\n

Although I know about the DOM, using HTML, this focus on the DOM using JavaScript was an interesting approach. For instance,\u00a0traversing the DOM (with classes and IDs) was fun:<\/p>\n

document.body.children[4].children[1]<\/pre>\n
This selects the 5th child of the body, then the 2nd child from that. This is almost like using CSS selectors to select parent and child elements.<\/p>\n
One of the things I love about Lynda is that they recommend additional courses to learn more about related topics. A few courses the instructor recommended included:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • JavaScript Essential Training<\/li>\n
  • jQuery for Web Designers<\/li>\n
  • Angular 2 Essential Training<\/li>\n
  • ReactJS Essential Training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    They may have updated it, but I’ve already taken the JavaScript Essentials course before, so I’ll check if the others are already on my list. Angular is past version 2 by now, but maybe it’s easier to get started with that version.<\/p>\n
