Description

JavaScript is one of the most widely used cross-browser scripting languages available for the web today. This course will teach students to add style and interactivity to their websites. Using lecture and hands-on lab work, students will learn JavaScript syntax and programming constructs. In scripting, they will respond to the user, validate forms, build cookies, and create other dynamic effects. Students will leave with the ability to effectively use client-side JavaScript.

Objectives

* Understand how JavaScript fits into the World Wide Web
* Learn basic JavaScript programming syntax
* Comprehend the JavaScript Document Object Model
* Use JavaScript to enhance HTML documents

Prerequisites
