The course creator

Nathan Manousos

I’m a software designer based in California who co-founded and designed Flinto - a widely used Mac app for creating high-fidelity prototypes.

I enjoy creating small projects, researching, and sharing things I find interesting on YouTube under the name We Deserve Less.

I’ve been interested in Imba since its inception, and am excited to tell the world about it.

Why this course rocks

In this course you’ll learn Imba, the programming language used to build scrimba.com.

Imba is a compile-to-JavaScript language that includes powerful features for building web apps like built-in tags and styles.

You’ll learn the basics of Imba syntax, and build a Dopamine Box app. By the end, you’ll have enough knowledge to build your own web app UI with Imba.

This course is intended for people who already know a bit of Javascript.
