Does anyone know any courses for web javascript? like youtube courses and for web javascript, i mean writing js in script tags, using document and window, and intergrating backend with frontend no nodejs or stuff like that. Just javascript, being used in a script tag, being used to dynamically manipulate elements, the DOM, and such. Most tutorials I found was just, explaining how js works, i know how it works, I want to know how to do the communication between front-end and back-end.

[EDIT] I found one person, and while I would like it if you could tell me more courses, i will link his videos, Traversy Media did some videos on Javascript DOM, which basically does what I asked for, i made a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDmZtFPxsV268gyN8XBTgXiVVRXtIRf2o

if for whatever reason the playlist goes down, just search for him. But I would like to hear about alternatives.

I did the front-end program on freecodecamp.org a bunch of years ago, it was decent. The challenging part about finding what you're looking for is that Javascript is used in both the front and back ends (and in a number of other places). Courses in JS will usually focus on backend (node.js is common), but it sounds like you're looking for a basic front-end course.

Also note that "integrating front end with back end" is complicated and depends largely on the backend itself. In the free code camp course, I did some calls to APIs from the frontend, which I think is what you're asking.

In any case, check out the Full Stack course on freecodecamp.org (specifically what you're asking about is covered in the "DOM Manipulation and Events" section).
