Course Description
JavaScript is the most widely deployed and popular programming languages in the world. It can be used to write front-end client side code, back-end code for servers, or even for game development. In this hands-on class, JavaScript is used along with HTML and CSS to make their web pages more dynamic and functional and to reduce the number of roundtrips to the server. Students first learn JavaScript syntax, then move on to working with the DOM, and developing and debugging across browsers. Topics include basic JavaScript syntax, event handlers, built-in JavaScript Objects, JavaScript form validation, and the HTML Document Object Model.
