Advanced JavaScript Concepts covers intricate details starting with execution contexts and hoisting, offering a deep understanding of global and functional contexts, the ‘this’ keyword, and variable and function hoisting. It explores:
- Scope chains for variable resolution in nested functions and delves into closures, explaining their workings and practical applications. - Advanced object-oriented programming concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, and prototype chains, enabling the writing of efficient, maintainable code. - A complete professional project to create a typing test application, incorporating all learned concepts from modular design patterns to event handling. By course completion, students will confidently implement advanced JavaScript in real-world scenarios. This course is tailored for intermediate to advanced developers with prior JavaScript experience, aiming to deepen their language understanding. Key learning outcomes include analyzing and utilizing execution contexts and hoisting, implementing closures, designing applications with modular patterns, and developing a professional project to demonstrate advanced skills.
In this module, we will delve into the complexities of execution context, hoisting, and the 'this' keyword, gaining a deeper understanding of how JavaScript code is executed and how different elements interact during execution.

In this module, we will explore the scope chain in JavaScript, understanding how it determines the accessibility of variables based on their scope and the nested structure of functions. We will delve into how JavaScript resolves variables by traversing the scope chain, ensuring a solid grasp of this fundamental concept.
2 videos
In this module, we will investigate closures, learning how they allow functions to access variables from an outer function even after the outer function has finished executing, and applying these concepts to solve practical problems.
