JavaScript
The JavaScript (03 Months) course at The Geek Institute of Cyber Security is a comprehensive, hands-on training program designed to equip students with essential to advanced JavaScript skills for modern web development. Starting from the very basics, the course introduces students to JavaScript's history, syntax, and usage within HTML documents. Learners begin by writing their first scripts, understanding variable declarations, data types, operators, control structures, and basic I/O using browser tools—laying a solid foundation for professional scripting capabilities.
As the course progresses, it delves deep into core programming concepts such as functions, loops, arrays, objects, and string manipulation. Students also gain practical experience in working with the Document Object Model (DOM), browser events, and form handling—crucial skills for interactive web applications. Advanced topics include ES6+ features like arrow functions, destructuring, classes, modules, promises, and asynchronous programming using async/await. The program also covers client-side data storage, cookies, and API interactions using fetch() and AJAX techniques.
To reinforce learning, the curriculum includes multiple capstone projects such as a calculator, weather app, user dashboard with CRUD operations, and a quiz app using JSON and events. These projects ensure students not only understand the theoretical concepts but also develop the ability to build fully functional, dynamic applications. By the end of the course, learners are well-prepared for real-world development roles or to further explore advanced web technologies like React.js or Node.js.
Course Requirements
To ensure students gain the most from this JavaScript course, the following basic requirements and prerequisites are recommended:
- Students should have a fundamental understanding of using a computer, including navigating the operating system, managing files and folders, and using a web browser.
- While not mandatory, prior knowledge of HTML and CSS is highly recommended, as JavaScript interacts heavily with web page structure and style.
- Students must install a code editor such as Visual Studio Code (VS Code), Sublime Text, or Atom, which are commonly used for writing CSS and HTML and JavaScript code.
- JavaScript is a hands-on language. Success in this course requires consistent practice, experimentation, and project development outside of classroom hours.
-
