JavaScript 1: Introduction to JavaScript
In this course, students learn the basics of JavaScript programming and how to use it to suit their professional and creative goals. Students will learn how to trigger JavaScript programs with web-based events, such as a click or a mouse movement. They will discover the power of objects, methods, and properties, and how to use them to manage and manipulate the elements of a web page using the Document Object Model.
Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward both the Client Side Web Programming Certificate Series and the Web Programming Certificate Series.
From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own JavaScript based projects. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to the students portfolio and will contribute to their certificate completion.
JavaScript 1: Introduction to JavaScript covers topics including StyleSheets, Layers, Positioning, Animation, Drag and Drop, Cross Browser programming, Browser detection and control, and more.
