JavaScript Broth, Season 2

Narrowing the skills gap, one chapter at a time.

JavaScript Broth is one of our newest virtual self-study groups. Season 2 is our latest incarnation.

Welcome to the Winter Session of our virtual self-study group offerings. Our focus during this session will be learning programming basics via a unique collaboration between LinkedIn Learning and GitHub. All offerings are available for free through February 28, 2023.

LinkedIn is offering 50 new LinkedIn Learning courses that are integrated with GitHub Codespaces. One of those courses is Hands-On Introduction: JavaScript.

JavaScript is a fun and flexible programming language. This scripting language is one of the core web development technologies. Typically, It is used in front-end development along with HTML and CSS. However, it is increasingly being used on the back-end as well. Currently, Indeed lists more than 2,300 job openings in the Boston metro area that mention JavaScript in the job description.
