Day 14: Strings and JSON

Lesson 0: Intro

Back on day 1 I mentioned that strings were super useful and we would be revisiting them. Well today is that day. It's not going to be a very taxing day, in fact after async and high order functions it will seem like a total breeze.

You see, the power in strings isn't that the concepts are all that hard, but the things you can put together and make with these concepts can be mind bendingly complicated. In fact, some of the most complicated and mentally taxing code I have written in my career has been around string manipulation, and this is true for many developers.

Don't worry though, today will be fairly lightweight. We are going to cover off

• String escape sequences
• String methods
• Concatenation
• Template literals
• JSON
