Congratulations on finishing 3

3

the introduction to JavaScript. 4

4

So you mastered the absolute fundamentals, 5

5

but there is still a lot of content ahead. 6

6

In fact, there is over 50 hours of video left 7

7

in this course. 8

8

However, I know that this is way too much for some people. 9

9

And so let's not take five or 10 minutes 10

10

to plan your unique journey through this course, 11

11

so that you can achieve your own learning goals. 12

12

Now to start, keep in mind that this is after all 13

13

the complete JavaScript course. 14

14

And so it makes sense that it covers everything, 15

15

and has a lot of big projects and challenges. 16

16

That's the reason why this course is so long. 17

17

But here is the thing, 18

18

you don't need to watch the entire course 19

19

to become really good at JavaScript. 20

20

There are many lectures and some sections 21

21

that you can safely skip and still become a great developer. 22

22

Now watching the entire course, 23

23

is, of course, the best option. 24

24

So if you're planning on doing that, 25

25

then just go to the next section. 26

26

But if you don't have the time, 27

27

or if you really want to focus only 28

28

on the most important parts and on your own learning goal, 29

29

then just keep watching. 30

30

So to help you navigate through this massive course 31

31

according to your goals, 32

32

I created a couple of different pathways through the course 33

33

and also a roadmap for each section. 34

34

So a section roadmap is basically an overview 35

35

of each section, 36

36

which will tell you exactly which videos 37

37

are the most important ones, 38

38

which ones are not that important, 39

39

and which ones are optional. 40

40

And you can find these roadmaps 41

41

at the beginning of each section. 42

42

And so by using them, 43

43

you can focus only on the most important videos if you want, 44

44

and therefore complete the course a lot faster. 45

45

So the section roadmaps tell you which videos you may skip. 46

46

But you might also want to skip entire sections. 47

47

So sections that you don't need to watch 48

48

in order to achieve your learning goal. 49

49

And so that's where the course pathways come into play. 50

50

So I defined these seven learning goals that you might have, 51

51

and selected the sections that you should watch 52

52

in order to achieve that goal. 53

53

And the seven pathways are any PDF document 54

54

that you can find right in the next lecture. 55

55

But just as an example here, 56

56

your goal might be to learn 57

57

only the most important parts of JavaScript. 58

58

And this might actually be a great goal 59

59

for Udemy for Business students, 60

60

who are probably watching this course at work. 61

61

Now, in this case, your pathway through the course 62

62

is gonna look something like this. 63

63

So just like in the section roadmaps, 64

64

here you can see which sections 65

65

are very important for your goal, 66

66

which ones are just good to know, 67

67

and which ones are optional. 68

68

And so again, by following a pathway like this, 69

69

you don't have to watch the entire course 70

70

if you don't have the time. 71

71

In fact, this particular pathway 72

72

actually shrinks the course down to only 24 hours. 73

73

All right. 74

74

So again, the best option is of course, 75

75

to watch the entire course from start to finish. 76

76

But if you don't have the time, 77

77

then please take a look at the course pathways PDF document 78

78

in the next lecture, 79

79

and select your learning goal and pathway from there. 80

80

And then I see you wherever your path 81

81

will take you in this course. 82
