Learn javascript visually

Computers need 0s and 1s. Programming languages are needed to instruct computers. Our brains need story and analogy to understand them.

Ask yourself...

How well do you understand javascript fundamentals? It's one thing building apps. It's another knowing the language quirks which drive them.

Recognise the patterns

To see patterns, you need 'big picture' understanding. How does everything fit together?

Solution: mnemonic learning

We can build something in our minds that keeps everything we know and understand about Javascript in one place.

I was blown away by the effectiveness of his unique teaching method. Kylo unleashes the full power of our imaginations, introducing memorable and meaningful illustrations in order to work through different JavaScript concepts and challenges. What does a flying turtle have to do with the ‘this’ keyword? Well, you won’t be disappointed!

Kylo does an amazing job breaking down complex JavaScript syntax so it is simple and easy to understand. The stories and illustrations really helped me understand how objects work and why. I definitely recommend one of his courses!

The Great Sync

Hi!

I'm Kylo. I am a Javascript developer, and have been for many years. That said, I am not a guru. I have not worked for Google.

What I can say is that I am someone who needed a way to 'level up' in Javascript.

When I first started I threw myself into building things - anything and everything - as you should! As a visual learner, seeing my creations was incredibly satisfying.

Soon though, I began notice big gaps in my understanding. I still felt like I didn't have a full grasp of Javascript fundamentals. I just couldn't fit all the pieces together.

The truth? I still found javascript hard. There were some things I did not understand fully, or couldn't wrap my mind around at all.

And that's when I began The Great Sync - a single, powerful resource which exposed the bare bones of Javascript, all living in my imagination. It could be referred back to whenever I was stuck or confused. It broke down the difficult concepts, and tied everything together.

I have relied on it to grow my knowledge of the language, and have used it to coach many junior and aspiring devs.

I would love for you to make it your own, to build it brick by brick, function invocation by function invocation, and create a visual model of the language that lasts forever.
