JavaScript

Course Summary

JavaScript allows for writing of HTML documents that contain code which can make these pages dynamic. JavaScript Client side programs differ from CGI scripting in that the programs run in the browser, not the server. This course covers all you need to know to start writing HTML pages with embedded JavaScript Code. The course covers the syntax of the JavaScript language, Program structure, and all the details about JavaScript Objects needed to write medium complexity scripts. Issues related to the various versions available are addressed, and will be updated as the language matures.
