Taking an Online JavaScript Course

Learn JavaScript for $9.95! That sounded like a pretty good deal to me, since most online courses an much more expensive than that.

When I got the JavaScript Live Course email from SitePoint.com, I followed the link to see what the course was about. There was a video with the course leader describing the content and delivery, and a link to see the course outline.

In the 3-week course there are 4 online sessions per week, with a live Q&A session each Friday. There’s also a private online discussion forum where you can get help with the practical exercises.

So, I signed up. Maybe I’ll learn a few things about JavaScript that I can use in my business. What’s really of interest to me though, is seeing how someone runs an online technical course. How will everything work? Will they hit any snags? What will the customer experience be like? What materials and training methods work best?

The answers to those questions are certainly worth much more than $9.95, and might help me plan an online course of my own.

Are you signing up? If you are, let me know, and we can sit in the back row of the class, or work on homework assignments together.

  1. Good grief – JavaScript – I don’t know, but for $10 maybe I’ll give it a try just for knowledge.
    However, if you have courses as such, just sign me up and away we go – either Access or Excel. One of the hardest things I find is that a lot of people want to learn, but the $350 plus price tags are hard to come by. Unless you have a company that will foot the bill.

    1. You need an Edit button, I have a company that will foot the bill twice sorry. I wondered where it went.

      1. I guess you can’t edit the comment after you post it — I fixed it for you, from the Admin settings.

  2. How was it?? I REALLY want to learn javascript and am leaning towards taking a class vs. self-learning.
