This intermediate course will dive deepers into the more advanced topics in JavaScript for web development. By the end of the class, you will have a working Quiz application that pulls asynchronous data from an API, modifies the DOM using "vanilla" JavaScript, and responds to user input through event handlers.
Intro to JavaScript, or a basic understanding of JavaScript programming and syntax.

The course begins with a review of basic JavaScript programming followed by some more advanced concepts, such as arrow functions, the ternary operator, and array methods.
This class covers basic understanding of JSON and accessing object properties as well as visualizing the data by modifying the DOM.
The topics covered in this class include asynchronous JavaScript, making an API request, and working with event handlers and callbacks.
The last class is used as an opportunity to familiarize students with using other APIs, reading API documentation, as well as cleaning up and enhancing any remaining code for the final project, the Quiz App.
