What you will learn

This learning path will help you understand the diverse threats and protections of the JavaScript world. We will start by covering the basics, as misunderstanding them often leads developers to write less safe code. Then, we will discuss authentication, XSS and CSRF. We will also spend a bit of time understanding regular expressions through the prism of security. We will also cover serverless security and what a JavaScript developer should do to keep their own desktop machine safe while using development tools.
