1 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,900 (upbeat music) 2 2 00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,410 Congratulations on finishing 3 3 00:00:03,410 --> 00:00:06,350 the introduction to JavaScript. 4 4 00:00:06,350 --> 00:00:09,620 So you mastered the absolute fundamentals, 5 5 00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:13,060 but there is still a lot of content ahead. 6 6 00:00:13,060 --> 00:00:16,610 In fact, there is over 50 hours of video left 7 7 00:00:16,610 --> 00:00:18,220 in this course. 8 8 00:00:18,220 --> 00:00:22,480 However, I know that this is way too much for some people. 9 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,140 And so let's not take five or 10 minutes 10 10 00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:28,940 to plan your unique journey through this course, 11 11 00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:32,720 so that you can achieve your own learning goals. 12 12 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,690 Now to start, keep in mind that this is after all 13 13 00:00:36,690 --> 00:00:39,110 the complete JavaScript course. 14 14 00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:42,350 And so it makes sense that it covers everything, 15 15 00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:46,540 and has a lot of big projects and challenges. 16 16 00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:50,030 That's the reason why this course is so long. 17 17 00:00:50,030 --> 00:00:51,900 But here is the thing, 18 18 00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:54,430 you don't need to watch the entire course 19 19 00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:57,680 to become really good at JavaScript. 20 20 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,920 There are many lectures and some sections 21 21 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,523 that you can safely skip and still become a great developer. 22 22 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,370 Now watching the entire course, 23 23 00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:10,590 is, of course, the best option. 24 24 00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:12,670 So if you're planning on doing that, 25 25 00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:15,110 then just go to the next section. 26 26 00:01:15,110 --> 00:01:17,100 But if you don't have the time, 27 27 00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,720 or if you really want to focus only 28 28 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,010 on the most important parts and on your own learning goal, 29 29 00:01:24,010 --> 00:01:26,260 then just keep watching. 30 30 00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:29,910 So to help you navigate through this massive course 31 31 00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:31,910 according to your goals, 32 32 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:35,590 I created a couple of different pathways through the course 33 33 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:39,190 and also a roadmap for each section. 34 34 00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:42,830 So a section roadmap is basically an overview 35 35 00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:44,260 of each section, 36 36 00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:46,690 which will tell you exactly which videos 37 37 00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:49,020 are the most important ones, 38 38 00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:51,810 which ones are not that important, 39 39 00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:54,490 and which ones are optional. 40 40 00:01:54,490 --> 00:01:56,490 And you can find these roadmaps 41 41 00:01:56,490 --> 00:01:59,410 at the beginning of each section. 42 42 00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:01,290 And so by using them, 43 43 00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:05,650 you can focus only on the most important videos if you want, 44 44 00:02:05,650 --> 00:02:09,440 and therefore complete the course a lot faster. 45 45 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,940 So the section roadmaps tell you which videos you may skip. 46 46 00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:17,530 But you might also want to skip entire sections. 47 47 00:02:17,530 --> 00:02:20,260 So sections that you don't need to watch 48 48 00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:22,980 in order to achieve your learning goal. 49 49 00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:27,260 And so that's where the course pathways come into play. 50 50 00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:31,620 So I defined these seven learning goals that you might have, 51 51 00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:34,350 and selected the sections that you should watch 52 52 00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:37,070 in order to achieve that goal. 53 53 00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:40,710 And the seven pathways are any PDF document 54 54 00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:44,130 that you can find right in the next lecture. 55 55 00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:46,510 But just as an example here, 56 56 00:02:46,510 --> 00:02:48,250 your goal might be to learn 57 57 00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:52,350 only the most important parts of JavaScript. 58 58 00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:55,200 And this might actually be a great goal 59 59 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,520 for Udemy for Business students, 60 60 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,483 who are probably watching this course at work. 61 61 00:03:01,350 --> 00:03:04,830 Now, in this case, your pathway through the course 62 62 00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:07,960 is gonna look something like this. 63 63 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600 So just like in the section roadmaps, 64 64 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,740 here you can see which sections 65 65 00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:15,460 are very important for your goal, 66 66 00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:18,180 which ones are just good to know, 67 67 00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:21,010 and which ones are optional. 68 68 00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:25,070 And so again, by following a pathway like this, 69 69 00:03:25,070 --> 00:03:27,440 you don't have to watch the entire course 70 70 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,620 if you don't have the time. 71 71 00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:32,180 In fact, this particular pathway 72 72 00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:35,963 actually shrinks the course down to only 24 hours. 73 73 00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:38,040 All right. 74 74 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,420 So again, the best option is of course, 75 75 00:03:41,420 --> 00:03:45,120 to watch the entire course from start to finish. 76 76 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,240 But if you don't have the time, 77 77 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,370 then please take a look at the course pathways PDF document 78 78 00:03:51,370 --> 00:03:52,940 in the next lecture, 79 79 00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:57,240 and select your learning goal and pathway from there. 80 80 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,330 And then I see you wherever your path 81 81 00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:02,397 will take you in this course. 82 82 00:04:02,397 --> 00:04:05,064
