Computer Science: JavaScript
with: Maury Hillstrom

Maury Hillstrom has been teaching computer related courses for over 10 years at top technical universities. With a Master's in Information Systems and majoring in Speech at Northwestern, Maury is a perfect combination of knowledge and presentation. In his JavaScript course, he first begins with an overview of important concepts before diving into several coding examples. This way the learner understands the interaction of code and the finished compiled product in a browser. Maury covers everything from Loops to Operators, If Logic, Functions, Errors, and Arrays. At the end of the course one should be comfortable to easily program basic JavaScript code for websites.
