Introduction to JavaScript

This course is designed for students at all levels who know HTML but have little or no experience with JavaScript.

Students will learn the fundamentals of JavaScript as a web programming language, including basic programming concepts as they apply to using and writing JavaScript. The focus is on learning to create interactivity using JavaScript with text and graphics. This course lays the foundation for continuing with JavaScript in the Intermediate JavaScript course, and features current web-standards compliant techniques for using JavaScript.

It's expected that students will have varying levels of skill and experience with scripting, so both a basic assignment and an advanced assignment will be offered each week for students to choose from in order to meet course requirements.

Students who have used pre-written scripts will find this a useful course to learn the underlying concepts of the JavaScript language and web scripting - and you'll learn to write your own scripts!
