JavaScript is a client-side scripting language used together with HTML and CSS to build dynamic and interactive webpages. It completes the front-end development triad together with HTML and CSS and has a high demand out in the market. It has got a large supportive community with the help of which you can solve nearly any problem you face while developing programs in it.
JavaScript is a fairly easy-to-learn language as you can see from the statistics (on the right or below) and is a good choice for beginners for their first programming language as it can give them the feel of a programming flavor and yet not make things overwhelming. However its measure of ease is relative to other programming languages out there like C, C++, Java etc. These languages are quite complicated to understand and write programs in and have a low-level nature as compared to JavaScript's high-level one. So in short if you've learnt, or tried to learn any of these languages then learning JavaScript will be a piece of cake for you!
For those of you who haven't learnt any of these, the good news is that even for you JavaScript will be a piece of cake because of this course!

Frankly speaking, JavaScript is not at all difficult to learn, but that's not to say that it doesn't have its complexities and surprises. Fortunately, we've got you covered — this course aims at making you an expert in JavaScript, one of the most celebrated languages of the era.
While you can get comfortable with the basics in less than a week, learning JavaScript comprehensively can take a long time. How much? Well, giving a precise quantitative measurement isn't obviously possible, but it can be somewhere in between 2 - 6 months. It's a huge language with tons and tons of APIs to master, all of which require a sufficient time span to get used to.
Absolutely yes. You'll acquire logical reasoning and programming skills through this course, both of which go hand-in-hand once you start building complex web applications in JavaScript.

The courses on Codeguage are released while they are still under construction so that learners can get early previews. As I continuously work on adding more and more content to the courses, if a given topic isn't covered today, there's a high chance that it's already under way and will show up very soon.

When you have a robust foundation, with the fundamentals crystal-clear, your mind will intrinsically get that ability to handle any kind and level of complexity.
With a comprehensive resource that covers literally every aspect of a given topic, your time is spent practicing the learnt concepts, not resolving confusions and basic questions.
Coding is a detailed craft. Likewise, any resource trying to teach it in any way should be detailed as well, or else people will have to acquire those integral details from different places in a fragmented and haphazard manner.
Structure is vital to an intuitive learning experience of a given resource. Without structure, the right concepts get introduced at the wrong times, ultimately leading to confusion and breaking the desired flow of comprehension.
