Open Course Premium version

Scrimba's Learn JavaScript course is free, and you take it at scrimba.com. It uses interactive screencasts: you pause the video and edit the instructor's code right in the player, which is why it tends to stick better than watching alone. The free course has no certificate and no paywall on the lessons. Our 'Go deeper' button points to Scrimba Pro, the paid plan that adds certificates, solutions, and larger career paths. We are not in Scrimba's affiliate program, so we earn nothing if you upgrade. You do not need Pro to finish the free JavaScript course. Learn the fundamentals free here, and upgrade only if you want the certificate or the guided front-end path.

Scrimba lists the free JavaScript course at around 30 hours of interactive screencasts (source: scrimba.com/learn/learnjavascript).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Scrimba JavaScript course free?

Yes. The lessons are free. A certificate is a Scrimba Pro feature, not part of the free tier.

What makes Scrimba different?

You edit the instructor's code inside the video player and run it as you go, so almost all of it is hands-on rather than passive watching.

What does it cover?

Syntax, functions, arrays, objects, DOM manipulation, and a set of small projects you build along the way.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes. It starts from the basics and assumes no prior JavaScript, so it works as a first course.

Do you get paid if I upgrade to Pro?

No. We are not in Scrimba's affiliate program, so that link earns us nothing. The free course does not require Pro.
