    The course follows a narrative of the development of a game called GRITS. The course instructors take you through all the steps of making the game and throw in some handy information along the way. The students are assessed by completing missing parts of the javascript code that is needed to run the game.

    The course is set at the intermediate level. The material was quite difficult for a novice JavaScript programmer like me. I did go through the optional Optional HTML/Javascript crash course but in hindsight I should have paid more attention to it!
