Lesson Materials
You can use Odin Project OR Team Treehouse OR a combination of both! Odin is more text-based, Team Treehouse is more video-based. We suggest you select which format you like best and stick with it throughout the course, but if you run into a topic that you need more/better explanation on, check out the materials from the other source to help.
If you are using Odin as your primary learning materials, please go to each link in this list and read through the content on that page. If there are links you are redirected to as you read/work through the content, follow those links as well and read the content there also.
If you are using Treehouse as your primary learning materials, please go through the following courses in treehouse:
- JavaScript Basics (234 minutes)
- JavaScript Numbers (83 minutes)
