Dynamic Web Development – JavaScript Introduction
JavaScript is the programming language of the Internet, the secret sauce that makes the Web awesome, your favorite sites interactive, and online games fun!
This class teaches programming essentials through patient, step-by-step examples. You’ll begin with the basics, like working with strings, arrays, and loops, and then move on to more advanced topics, like building interactivity with DOM and jQuery.
Along the way, you’ll write fun games. You’ll also learn how to:
- Create functions to organize and reuse your code
- Write and modify HTML to create dynamic web pages
- Use the DOM and jQuery to make your web pages react to user input
With visual examples, you can really see what you’re programming. Each lesson builds on the last, and programming challenges at the end of class will stretch your brain and inspire your own amazing programs. Make something cool with JavaScript!
