00:00:09,290 --> 00:00:13,270
Hey, everybody, welcome to this new JavaScript course.

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,480
I'm Ivan Gomes and I will be your instructor.

3
00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:22,730
I'm super glad to be joining you on this journey that you're just starting.

4
00:00:22,850 --> 00:00:29,210
And if you've been my student before, you know that my courses, they start from the absolute beginning.

5
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,570
So you don't need any prior knowledge in JavaScript.

6
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,950
All you need is some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.

7
00:00:37,010 --> 00:00:38,600
And you're good to go.

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:46,220
If you think JavaScript is too complicated, if you've tried to learn it before and you had trouble,

9
00:00:46,490 --> 00:00:49,700
I promise you this time is going to be different.

10
00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:53,600
We are going to do a lot of real life examples.

11
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:57,200
There are a few lists of exercises.

12
00:00:57,590 --> 00:01:04,160
We are going to do a couple of projects and by the end of the course you will be very comfortable with

13
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,140
writing code in JavaScript.

14
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:10,790
Before we get started, I need you to download the course material.

15
00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:17,630
If you go to the right side of this video right below the name of this lesson, you will find the zip

16
00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:18,950
file to download.

17
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,850
Then you can just uncompressed it on your desktop.

18
00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:25,100
So make it easier to access.

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,800
So I'm gonna do it right now to show you.

20
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,570
So this is the file I've just downloaded from Udemy.

21
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:35,000
I'm going to extract to my desktop.

22
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:37,640
Here it is.

23
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,300
Now, if you want to can delete the zip file.

24
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,280
So just open the folder.

25
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:50,840
And as you can see, we have many, many HTML files.

26
00:01:51,140 --> 00:01:53,360
Just click on any of them.

27
00:01:53,810 --> 00:02:00,320
If you're not seeing this Google Chrome icon, I suggest you make Google Chrome the default program

28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,090
for HTML files.

29
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:03,890
You can do it by right.

30
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Clicking on the file and then choosing open with.

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,460
Then go to choose another app.

32
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:18,500
Then you can just choose Google Chrome from the list and check this box that says, always use this

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,870
app to open HTML files.

34
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:27,350
Then every time you click these files, they are going to open in Google Chrome.

35
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,420
So here it is.

36
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,500
This is the written course material.

37
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:36,530
So everything we talk from now on is going to be here.

38
00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:39,350
You can come back here if you have any doubt.

39
00:02:39,650 --> 00:02:46,760
If you go down, you can see that you have this index where you can easily find all the lessons from

40
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,360
the course.

41
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:49,250
You can click on them.

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,290
I have a lot of coding examples where you can easily copy.

43
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,140
So this material is for you.

44
00:02:57,590 --> 00:03:02,150
And the best thing about it is not only the written content.

45
00:03:02,270 --> 00:03:06,250
But this is also going to be our playground in this course.

46
00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:11,060
So if you go to Visual Studio code and go to open folder.

47
00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:18,170
Then you can open this folder that you just downloaded.

48
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:23,550
So here we have all the HTML files.

49
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:28,680
What we are going to do here is apply JavaScript on these pages.

50
00:03:29,310 --> 00:03:36,000
So we are going to use these files not only to study, but we are also going to write a lot of JavaScript

51
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,910
code and interact with these pages.

52
00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:44,130
If you go down here, you can see that we have a few lists of exercises.

53
00:03:44,610 --> 00:03:49,440
So I'm going to click on this list of exercises, as you can see.

54
00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:52,650
You are going to do all the exercises here.

55
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:57,570
So this course is going to be one hundred percent dynamic.

56
00:03:58,020 --> 00:04:04,950
So now that you downloaded the course material and you have the first lesson open on Google Chrome and

57
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:10,050
all the folder open on Visual Studio Code, we are ready to get started.

58
00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:17,580
Don't forget that you have some tools at your disposal to make your learning experience the best possible.

59
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,210
So here in the video player, you can turn on and off captions and transcript.

60
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:26,460
These are auto generated.

61
00:04:26,490 --> 00:04:29,130
So they're not 100 percent accurate.

62
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,530
But if you need them, they can be very helpful. Iif you think I'm going too slow.

63
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,860
You can try to increase the speed of the video.

64
00:04:38,130 --> 00:04:41,970
You can try to maybe one point five or one point seventy five.

65
00:04:42,270 --> 00:04:46,050
I personally like to watch courses in one point five.

66
00:04:46,650 --> 00:04:50,280
Once you get used to it, it's really easy to understand.

67
00:04:50,340 --> 00:04:55,320
And you can finish the course way faster if you think I'm going too fast.

68
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:56,100
On the other hand.

69
00:04:56,460 --> 00:05:00,300
You can try maybe zero point seventy five zero point five.

70
00:05:00,690 --> 00:05:05,070
So you have all these speeds to learn at your own pace.

71
00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:10,290
If you're going through the course and you see something interesting, you can leave a note and then

72
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,330
you can see all your notes here.

73
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:18,270
Something else that is important to say, if you're watching a video and all of a sudden the screen

74
00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:19,650
gets a bit blurry.

75
00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:23,770
This is because the quality of the video is automatically set.

76
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:31,560
So if this happens to you, you can go here to settings and just force the quality to 720p.

77
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:35,490
Maybe it's going to take a bit more time for the video to load.

78
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:38,040
But you won't get the blurry screen.

79
00:05:38,490 --> 00:05:45,080
Last but not least, from time to time, Udemy is going to ask you to leave a review for this course.

80
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,390
It's really important to me that you take your time and leave not only a number of stars, but write

81
00:05:51,390 --> 00:05:52,080
something.

82
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,570
Just tell me, why do you like the most about the scores and why other students should take it?

83
00:05:58,110 --> 00:05:59,580
This is really helpful.

84
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:02,160
This is gonna help me reach more students.

85
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400
So I would really appreciate your help on this.

86
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:08,490
So that was all I wanted to say for now.

87
00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:11,370
We are ready to start learning Shava script.

88
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,160
So in the next video, we're going to talk.

89
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,430
What does JavaScript and why we should learn it.

90
00:06:17,690 --> 00:06:20,850
We are also going to write our first lines of code.

91
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:22,820
So we'll see you in the next video.
