JavaScript 1: Introduction to JavaScript

Learn JavaScript in this Web Design Course for the Beginning or Intermediate Student

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.
