Build a Typing Speed Test with JavaScript

Want to solidify your front-end skills by building a real, working application? This project-based course shows you how to create an interactive typing speed test from the ground up, using only fundamental web technologies. By the end, you'll have a completed project for your portfolio and a practical understanding of how to combine HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build dynamic web experiences. You'll gain the confidence to tackle your own interactive projects. What you'll learn: - Structure the user interface with semantic HTML. - Apply modern CSS, including Flexbox or Grid, for responsive, mobile-first styling. - Write JavaScript to manage application state, timers, and word generation. - Manipulate the DOM to display text, track user progress, and show final results. - Handle user keyboard input using JavaScript event listeners. - Calculate and display key metrics like words per minute (WPM) and accuracy. - Practice fundamental accessibility principles to make your app usable for everyone. You will begin by laying out the application's structure with HTML, then move on to creating a clean and responsive design with CSS. The core of the course focuses on implementing the application's logic with JavaScript, step-by-step. This course is perfect for beginners who know some HTML and CSS and are ready to tackle their first major JavaScript project. No prior experience with complex frameworks is needed.
