Description
In this training we look at JavaScript (EcmaScript 2015+), using JavaScript for working in browsers (UI events, manipulating HTML with DOM CSS), JavaScript modules (NPM, Webpack), working with the server (HTTP protocol, REST, AJAX, Axios, WebSocket). It is also a first step towards learning Angular and React web frameworks.The training also covers subjects such as using OOP, working with JSON, and functional programming. You’ll learn in detail how to work with classes, objects, arrays, dates, immutability and asynchronicity.
After completing the course, a certificate
is issued on the Luxoft Training form

React Development
This course covers the JavaScript library React.js, FLUX architecture and its most popular implementation – REDUX.
Angular Development
The Angular 9 framework has been completely redesigned to meet the current web-development requirements. Now the framework is written not in JavaScript, but TypeScript language - typed and more convenient for the development of large applications.
