Wow! This is so informative! I love how he actually breaks down and explains what FUNCTIONS and OBJECTS mean, instead of just assuming everyone already knows it. I like instructors like that.

Thank you for this. I've worked on websites for years as a front-end developer and struggled reading books about Javascript, now I'm dedicating the next two months to study it, I'm only on day-2 and already have a good beginners understanding. Thank you.

Such a good way of teaching each and every word was clear and easy to understand, i have watched so many javascript tutorials but most of them got me confused and made me sleepy 😴.

I wish I had this concise explanation when I was learning Javascript. I wouldn't have gone through all the frustrations. This is Good Stuff!!!

I am a TechDegree student at Treehouse, and I have to say that is the best choice I have ever made. Every lesson is well explained, easy to understand examples and lot's of ready to help students in the community. Whenever I get stuck, there are is slack to help me get in touch with all the other Front End students and get help or opinions from them. You have new content frequently and is easy to learn. I truly recommend Treehouse for all those who are looking to become a Web Designer or Web Developer. You will find an amazing library from where to learn.
