JavaScript & TypeScript — Zero to Hero

4h 8m total

A complete, hands-on journey from your first Node.js install to shipping an idiomatic, fully typed, tested TypeScript application. Built on Node.js 24 (the current LTS), ECMAScript 2025, and TypeScript 6, it mixes prose, runnable code, MCQ checks, output-prediction drills, ordering and matching activities, an embedded sandbox, environment checklists, and mentor-chat prompts so every skill is rehearsed in the format that fits it best. You start in plain JavaScript, then layer TypeScript on top the way real teams do.
