COURSE DESCRIPTION

SkillsFuture funding for this course is in the process. We will update the course once SkillsFuture funding has been approved. 

This course is a prerequisite course for building iOS and Android mobile application using React Native.

You should be able to create a relatively small program with Javascript after this course. If you’re still not able to do that, we will give you free seat to join next batch, as long as you submit all the assignments. No questions asked.

JavaScript is growing in popularity, especially with the rise of the JavaScript framework like Ionic and React to enable developers to build portable iOS and Android mobile application using JavaScript. No more the days where developers have to master Java and Swift / Objective-C to build a mobile application.

This course aims to build a strong foundation in JavaScript and React JS, with an introduction to language syntax, and also to introduce React JS framework, a JavaScript framework released by Facebook.

Participants will learn the basic of ECMAScript 6, which is the latest specification of JavaScript language. Also, learn tools like NPM package manager to handle dependencies, VSCode IDE, Node ecosystem, and Webpack build tool.

Participants will be expected to do pre-course work using SolaceTech’s eLearning platform, reading and doing simple exercises so participants will come with some understanding of the topics, which will be enforced in the class, to ensure maximum absorption of the topics by participants (yes, we do care about your learning result!)

Maximum 10 participants per class. The venue would be at Depot Road.

We reserve the right to cancel or re-schedule the course due to unforeseen circumstances. If the course is cancelled, we will refund 100% to you.

Note that the minimal class size to start a class is 3.
