SE FS JavaScript Fundamentals

Structured learning pathway for JavaScript fundamentals in a software engineering bootcamp flow.
This repository is organized for instructor delivery and student use across two classes plus one mini project.

Scope

Core bootcamp scope = Class 1 + Class 2 + mini project.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this pathway, students should be able to:

• Use modern JavaScript syntax (const/let, arrow functions, template literals).
• Transform data with array methods (map, filter, find) and chaining.
• Work with objects, destructuring, spread/rest, and conditionals.
• Fetch data from APIs using async/await with proper error handling.
• Build a small frontend app with a clean module structure.

Learning Pathway (Recommended Order)

1. Class 1 Foundations
   Cheat Sheet
   Exercises
   Solutions
2. Class 2 Async + APIs
   Cheat Sheet
   Exercises
   Solutions
3. Mini Project
   Requirements
   Starter App
   Reference Solution
4. Full Reference
   Combined Cheat Sheet

Beyond Essentials (Optional)

For broader JavaScript depth beyond this bootcamp scope, use the optional self-study roadmap:

How to Run the Mini Project Starter

No build tools or package install required.

1. Open projects/user-directory/starter/index.html in a browser.
2. Recommended: use VS Code Live Server for module-friendly local serving.
3. Internet access is required because data comes from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com.

Instructor Delivery Notes

• Share cheatsheet.md + exercises.md first.
• Release solutions.md after practice or discussion.
• For the project, share requirements.md and starter/ before exposing solution/.
• Use curriculum/references/combined-cheatsheet.md as revision material near assessments.

Audience and Prerequisites

• Audience: early-stage full-stack learners.
• Prerequisites: basic HTML/CSS and beginner JavaScript exposure (variables, loops, functions).

Contributing

If you update content:

• Keep learning order stable (class-01 -> class-02 -> project).
• Keep solution files separate from exercise files.
• Prefer small, focused PRs with clear educational intent.

Student Export Script

Generate release-ready student packs with Day 1 and Day 2 separated, and all solutions excluded:

bash scripts/export-student-packages.sh

Optional custom output directory:

bash scripts/export-student-packages.sh ./dist/student-release

Output structure:

dist/student-exports/<timestamp>/
├── day-01/
├── day-02/
├── day-01.zip
└── day-02.zip

Generated exports are local artifacts and should not be committed.
