Build Your Own Client-Side Validation System? You'll do it. Animated Explainer Videos To Learn Regular Expression concepts? It's here!
--------------------
This is the most interactive course online for mastering Regular Expressions In JavaScript with tips & tricks, visual illustrations, and a lot of animated explainer videos.
When you begin to learn Regular Expressions for the first time, it might seem like a random string of nonsense. While they might look awkward at times, they are very useful. Once you have a solid understanding of regular expressions you will become a much more effective programmer. To fully understand regular expressions you need to learn the basic concepts which you can build upon.
1. So What Is A Regular Expression?
A regular expression, regex or regexp (sometimes called a rational expression) is a way to describe a pattern to work with strings by using special syntax.
By formulating a regular expression you can...
Search for text in a string,
Replace a sub-string in a string,
Extract information from a string.
2. A Little History About Regular Expressions.
Regular Expressions began to emerge as a way to describe regular languages.
In the 1950s, Regular expressions originated when mathematician Stephen Cole Kleene described regular languages by using his mathematical notation called regular sets.
Regular expressions later became an important part of the tool suite that emerged from the Unix operating system-the ed, sed and vi (vim) editors, grep, AWK, among others. But the ways in which regular expressions were implemented were not always so regular. They really began to show up in the programming world during the 1970s.
A variety of programming languages like: C#, C, C++, VB.NET, VB 6, Delphi, Java, Groovy, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, VBScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Tcl, PowerShell, R, and more support Regex very well.
3. Situations Where Regex Can Be Used.
Common applications include data validation, data scraping (especially web scraping), data wrangling, simple parsing, syntax highlighting systems, text or string processing tasks where the data need not be textual, and in search engines such as Google in order to determine an algorithmic match to the query a user is asking.
Now have you ever wondered how you get feedback from an online form informing you that you had entered invalid information?
How did it know you entered invalid information?
The answer is that behind the scenes Regular Expressions is used to validate your input.
Almost every programming language implements regular expressions. JavaScript is one of the programming languages with regular expressions support directly built-in. Since you can also run JavaScript on the server with Node.js, the Regular Expression Concepts In JavaScript is the same as Regular Expressions In Node.js
4. What You Will Learn In This Course
