We’ll start with a blank file and add more complexity as we go along, wrapping the course with a lesson on how to move into a more production-ready development environment—and even deploy your app to a great service like Netlify.
You’ll build a solid understanding so when you come across JavaScript challenges down the road, you’ll know how to…react.
