| JavaScript is a script language that is embedded in
Web pages to create dynamic, interactive content, such as images
that change during mouse rollovers. Students with HTML programming
experience learn the fundamentals of using Javascript for Web
applications in this hands-on course. Learn to use JavaScript to
display clocks, script embedded objects such as Flash and movies,
and set cookies. Learn to create reusable components such as form
validators and dynamic list boxes. Understand the Document Object
Model, an application programming interface for representing HTML
documents.
This course is a intended for people with some Web content
development experience. Students will learn the syntax and
conventions of the Javascript language, and will then create web
sites using Javascript. Techniques for using Javascript to make a
web site interact with a database, and for producing content
management systems will be covered.
The course will cover scripting techniques used in Web
programming focusing primarily on Javascript. An attempt will be
made to integrate browser-based markup languages and server-side
techniques. Students will be expected to conduct out of class
research concerning the programming techniques demonstrated in
class. They must learn to coordinate their use of Javascript and
HTML. The final project will consist of a personal project that
demonstrates knowledge they have developed.
There is not an imperative to use all the techniques! There will
be a comprehensive test covering the topics that are present in
both lecture and lab sessions. (See Assignments.)
