🧠 Think Like a Browser: Mastering JavaScript Basics

---

🧾 Course Description

JavaScript is the language that brings websites to life — from dropdown menus to form validation and animations. In “Think Like a Browser”, you’ll learn not just how JavaScript works, but why it works the way it does.

This beginner-level course breaks down core JavaScript concepts into real-world use cases. You’ll learn to think like a browser and write scripts that interact with web pages, respond to user actions, and control behavior dynamically.

By the end, you’ll be confidently writing scripts, debugging code, and ready to dive into modern JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue.
