Course Overview
JavaScript is the primary scripting languages used in browsers to add interactivity to web pages. In this course students will get an introduction to the basics of creating and editing JavaScript scripts for web pages. Students will create JavaScripts that use numeric and string variables and work with numeric and string functions. Students will create scripts that get input from the user and display output on the page. Students will write scripts to define and use objects and functions. An understanding of HTML/XHTML, CSS and programming is useful but not necessary for this course. Students will need a text editor, like Notepad and a browser like Firefox.
