Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Follow along with the Udemy course and compare your code to the completed project files.

REASON 2

Use individual projects as standalone practice to reinforce concepts like async/await or browser storage.

REASON 3

Study completed versions to see how JavaScript powers real interactive web pages.

REASON 4

Work through a self-taught JavaScript curriculum using these as graded practice exercises.

Each project is self-contained HTML/JS, just open the files in a browser or use a live server extension to get started.

No license information is provided, so default copyright restrictions apply, you can study the code but should check before using it in your own projects.

Wtf does this do

Modern JS Udemy Projects is a collection of practice exercises from Brad Traversy's "Modern JS From The Beginning" Udemy course. It's designed to teach JavaScript fundamentals through hands-on building rather than just watching videos. The repo contains ten small projects that each focus on specific JavaScript skills. You start with simple ones like a task list and loan calculator that interact with the browser's document object model, then progress to more advanced topics like fetching data from external APIs, using object-oriented programming patterns, and working with modern tooling like Webpack. Each project is self-contained and focuses on a particular concept, so you can see how JavaScript powers real, interactive web pages rather than just reading about syntax. This is for beginners learning JavaScript who want practical examples to follow along with. If you're taking the Udemy course, these files give you a reference point, you can compare your own code, start from the project files if you get stuck, or study the completed versions to understand how everything fits together. Someone working through a self-taught JavaScript curriculum could also use these as standalone practice projects to reinforce specific concepts like async/await or working with browser storage. The progression matters here. The projects are ordered by difficulty, starting with basic browser interactions and building toward more complex topics like module patterns and build tools. It mirrors how the course itself is structured, so you're not jumping into advanced material before understanding the foundations. The README doesn't go into detail on individual project implementations, but the short descriptions tell you exactly which JavaScript concept each one targets.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1

Help me set up the task list project from this repo, explain how the JavaScript interacts with the browser DOM to add, remove, and persist tasks.

Prompt 2

Walk me through the loan calculator project and explain how to handle user input, perform calculations, and update the DOM with the result.

Prompt 3

Explain how the API fetching project in this repo works and help me understand how to fetch and display data from an external API using async/await.

Prompt 4

Show me how the Webpack build tool project is configured and walk a beginner through bundling JavaScript modules step by step.

Prompt 5

I am working through these projects in order, create a study plan that groups them by JavaScript concept and suggests what I should learn before starting each one.
