Welcome to Building a JavaScript Development Environment. In this course, you will explore the long list of decisions and patterns for building your own JavaScript development from scratch using modern tooling. You will get there by learning about major topics like transpiling, bundling, testing, and npm scripts for automation.

By the end of this course, you will be able to create a rapid feedback JavaScript development experience that suits your team's unique preferences.

Before you begin, make sure you are already familiar with JavaScript and HTML.

After this course, you'll be ready to move on to building applications in a wide array of technologies including Angular, React, Node.js, and Electron.
