When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This course introduces you to the fundamentals of asynchronous JavaScript through hands-on challenges and an engaging project.

You will start by learning the basics of callback functions and progress towards understanding promises, method chaining, and the power of async/await. Along the way, you'll apply these concepts in practical coding challenges, such as building a fully functional "War" card game, complete with features such as scoring, card drawing, and a final winner display. The course also explores custom JavaScript functions, the fetch API, and real-world scenarios involving asynchronous code. By the end, you'll have a strong foundation in asynchronous programming, ready to tackle more advanced JavaScript projects.

Module details

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to asynchronous JavaScript, focusing on key concepts such as callbacks, promises, and async/await, while guiding learners through building hands-on projects like a "War" card game to apply their skills in a real-world scenario.
