FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to know before learning JavaScript?

You don't need much to get started with JavaScript. Some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS is helpful but not mandatory.

The most important things are curiosity and willingness to learn. You'll need a computer with a web browser and a text editor - that's it for tools. Mimo also provides a code builder tool for all students.

Is JavaScript easy to learn?

JavaScript is often considered one of the more accessible programming languages for beginners. You can start seeing results quickly, especially with a dedicated learning platform like Mimo.

That said, like any programming language, it takes time and practice to master. Some concepts might challenge you, but don't let that discourage you—it's all part of the learning process.

How long does it take to learn JavaScript?

The time it takes to learn JavaScript varies for everyone. It’ll depend on your current coding skills, your goals, and the learning method.

- You can pick up the basics in a few months with consistent practice.

- Becoming job-ready as a JavaScript developer typically takes 4-12 months of focused learning and project work.


Remember, though, that learning in programming is ongoing. Even experienced developers are always updating their skills and learning new things.

What’s the difference between Java and JavaScript?

Despite the similar names, Java and JavaScript are different coding languages. Java is a general-purpose language used for building large applications. JavaScript was originally created for web development and runs directly in web browsers. They have some syntactical similarities, which can be confusing, but their uses and ecosystems are quite different.

Will I get a certificate after completing the course?

Yes! Once you complete the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion, which you can add to your portfolio, LinkedIn, or resume.

Will I become employable after finishing the JavaScript course by Mimo?

Yes! We create our courses to meet the current demands of the job market. All projects, coding challenges, and topics are carefully designed to prepare you for job interviews and real-life tasks.

Don't take our word for granted. Check out multiple success stories of our learners who already got jobs in software engineering.
