From the course: Vanilla JavaScript: Building on the Document Object Model (DOM)

Learn the JavaScript DOM inside and out

- This course covers the DOM interface, nodes, trees, and how to access them from JavaScript. But it also dives deeper, showing you how the browser parses your HTML and how you can manipulate it yourself, using nothing but a text editor. My name is Scott Means and I started writing code while the movie "ET" was still in theaters. I was lucky enough to be growing up at the same time personal computers were. So I got to understand them at a fundamental level. And as complex as things have become, understanding the fundamentals is still the secret to becoming an experienced, productive and happy programmer. This course covers the DOM interface, nodes, trees, and how to access them from JavaScript. But it also dives deeper showing you how the browser parses your HTML and how you can manipulate it yourself, using nothing but a text editor. If you want to understand the DOM like a framework or browser developer does, join me in my LinkedIn learning course, as we explore the Dom API, build a pretty printer, and even write our own HTML parser.
