JavaScript is considered the "third part of the web" and the programming language designed to add an interactive layer to any web page. Together with HTML and CSS they form the three most important programming languages.
This course is an introduction to JavaScript, starting from the basics — syntax and variables — and progressively you will expand knowledge — conditional, arrays, loops, events — using a Memory game that you will gradually improve By the hand of Javier Usobiaga, web designer and founder of the Swwweet studio with more than 10 years of experience.
If this is your first approach to web design, it is recommended that you take the course, also by Javier Usobiaga, of Introduction to Responsive Web Development with HTML and CSS .

You will start by knowing Javier, his work and his influences in the world of web design and development.
You will understand what JavaScript is, what it works for and why it is one of the basic programming languages of the web, along with HTML and CSS. You will learn how to configure your code editor to work more comfortably and then you will see how to incorporate JavaScript into a website.
Your first interactions with JavaScript will involve variables, functions, events and loops , which you will learn to write along with other basic complementary JavaScript functions.
From here, you will start designing your Memory game, starting with the array , or list of values, which represents the deck of cards that make up the game.
You will add events and chance to the distribution of cards to introduce difficulty in the game.
The following will be to add the first element of interactivity to your Memory game: mark the selected card pair as wrong or correct. Gradually you will be creating functions that solve a specific part of the script, such as success, error, among others, and also, managing feedback to these successes and errors.
Following the difficulty increase, you will add a stopwatch, game levels, sound effects and new details to the game interface.
Finally, you will review the different libraries and resources that complement JavaScript, such as jQuery, React and Vue.
What is this course's project?
You will make an improvement - new rules, corrections, effects - on the Memory game that you will create throughout the course.

Reviews
A course by Javier Usobiaga Ferrer
Javier Usobiaga is a web designer and FrontEnd developer, for more than 10 years and co-founder with Marta Armada of the Swwweet studio, specialized in designing responsive websites from initial conception to front-end development.
He also enjoys a lot in his role as Professor of Web Design in workshops and renowned schools like Elisava, IDEP.
Usobiaga understands the web as a whole, not only how beautiful it can be on the computer screen, but its usability in different devices and circumstances.
In his words "I think as important as aesthetics is how fast it loads or how well it responds, and it seems to me that in our industry we often forget that."

La explicación es buena, pero es solo un tutorial para hacer un juego en concreto. Con este curso no aprenderás a hacer otras cosas.
