Byte-Sized-Chunks: Closures in Javascript
- 4
Brief Introduction
Use closures with confidence!Description
Note: This course is a subset of our much longer course 'Learn By Example: HTML, CSS and Javascript' so please don't sign up for both:-)
Closures and first class functions in Javascript - that's what this course is about.
This is not a course on Javascript frameworks - its about solid, fundamental Javascript. You'll be surprised by how much more you can get done on your web pages once you learn this the right way.
What do we mean by that?
- Relatively few folks formally learn HTML, CSS or Javascript, because its quite easy to get stuff done in these technologies in a "quick-and-dirty way".
- That "quick-and-dirty" way of learning and doing leads to problems over time, because Javascript and CSS are actually quite complex, so it is easy to do things the wrong way
- This course will help, because it is entirely based on examples . Each is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a simple, specific use-case. Each example is simple, but not simplistic.
What's Included:
- Closures in Javascript are a rather mind-bending concept - functions that "remember" how the world looked when they were created.
Requirements
- Requirements
- Any modern browser and a simple text editor are all that will be needed for the code examples
- Some prior programming experience will definitely help
