Introduction to JavaScript

The Web Professional Training courses are designed to guide the student to understanding and competency in web design and development. In order to become successful in the web design field, it is essential to master the concepts, techniques, and languages that are currently in demand. In looking at the wide range of technologies currently in use on the web, however, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the variety of techniques and technologies being deployed today. The Web Professional Training courses are designed to provide a good foundation in the fundamental technologies that are in use today, as well as provide training for those technologies which have emerged as stable platforms for development. This allows the student to focus on the essential technologies they really need to know, and provides focus on the technologies that appear to be the industry leaders rather than simply "following the fads" that may or may not be around in a few years.

Those who successfully complete the coursework by achieving satisfactory grades on at least 80% of the labs, and an average score of 80% on quizzes, will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the courses. Students who do not successfully complete the labs and quizzes (or who choose not to complete them) will receive a certificate of participation at the end of the course.

Course lengths vary, but the student can expect to spend approximately 4-6 hours per week (or topic). Students may complete the courses at their own pace, though it is suggested that at least one module per week be completed for optimum success. Too long between modules can impede recall of previous class materials, and each module builds on the previous one. Conversely, though the student could certainly spend more time per week and complete the course at a faster pace, it is suggested that the student not rush to get through the material, but spend enough time to learn each topic thoroughly before proceeding to the next.

Students will be provided with space on a class web server for the duration of the course to provide them with an area to work.

Class instructors are available via phone or e-mail as well as via Adobe ConnectPro (or similar tools) to share desktop applications at mutually agreed upon times.

Specific Deliverables

This course is designed to introduce JavaScript fundamentals to Web designers and aspiring Web developers. Course participants will have space reserved for them on a class server so they can test their code during class. There will be 2 lab assignments and numerous practice exercises (with solutions available) as listed in the syllabus below.

Those who successfully complete both lab assignments (and score at least 80% on lessons and quizzes which can be taken multiple times) will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course. Students who elect not to complete the lab assignments (or take the exams) will receive a certificate of participation at the end of the course.

Objectives: Each participant will be able to:

• Describe the fundamentals of JavaScript syntax (such as operators, program flow control, interacting with arrays, and using functions).
• Describe the fundamentals of client side scripting (such as displaying random images, interacting with frames and inline frames, and manipulating browser windows).
• Describe the basics of client side form validation and the importance of preventing malicious code from being processed by the server.
• Describe the importance of adhering to web standards and the Document Object Model when developing scripts.
• Describe the necessity of developing accessible scripts.
• Describe fundamentals of debugging JavaScript.

Who should take this course: This course is designed for web designer/developers who have a good understanding of how to create web pages using HTML and CSS coding, and who wish to learn the JavaScript scripting language. What is included: Guided readings, hands-on labs, audio/ video lectures for selected topics, hands-on challenges (with solutions if you need them), constructive feedback from instructor on all assignments, and the ability to redo labs until understanding and a satisfactory grade is achieved.
