Hey there! I created this JavaScript crash course after spending years teaching myself the hard way. Back when I started my journey, I couldn’t find any good resources that didn’t either dumb things down too much or go way over my head with complex examples. This course is what I wish I had when I was first trying to make my portfolio site interactive. We’re going to cover everything from the absolute basics to some pretty cool advanced stuff, and I promise to keep things casual and fun. By the end of our 7 days together, you’ll have built several real mini-projects that you can actually show off to people!
