Curso de JavaScript
A beginner JavaScript course in Portuguese from a Brazilian educator with a large YouTube following. The repo is a static collection of PDFs, exercise files, and coding challenges — essentially the downloadable companion to a video series. It's for absolute beginners who speak Portuguese.
Each exercise is self-contained with its own HTML, JS, and CSS files, which makes it easy to run without any build tooling. The challenge set (13 progressively harder problems) gives learners something to practice against, not just follow along. The exercises are live on GitHub Pages, so students can see working examples without cloning anything. Licensing is clear and permissive for personal and classroom use.
The course only covers 7 PDF lessons and stopped updating in mid-2024 — it gets through basic DOM interaction and arithmetic but never reaches async, modules, or anything post-ES6. There are no tests or answer keys for the challenges, so learners who get stuck have nowhere to check their work except the instructor's YouTube comments. The content is entirely in Portuguese, which limits the audience sharply. Structurally it's a static file dump, not a course platform — no progression tracking, no feedback loop.
