JavaScript Programming
The World Wide Web has spawned many new technologies, one of
which is the manner of embedding a programming environment within a web page.
There have been many scripting languages developed to fulfill this need, but
JavaScript appears to have finally taken the lead and is now the most popular
scripting language in use today.
This 3-day workshop will take the attendee from the basics of JavaScript
using examples and hands-on exercises through the more advanced topics such as
file handling, JavaScript messaging, JavaScript troubleshooting and debugging of
3rd party scripts. The attendees will learn how JavaScript uses very
simple, but effective techniques to manipulate data streams of many forms either
on the client-side or the server-side. In the three days, attendees will learn
and discover all the major JavaScript components and operations that are found
in most scripting environments on the Internet today.
The workshop is heavily "hands-on" (about 60%) with a series of exercises and
problem sets.
Who Should Attend
Those from IT development and/or programming departments such
as programmers, developers, application designers, system designers, and
maintenance programmers. A familiarity with HTML and/or XML will be very helpful
as the workshop is also focused on using JavaScript to manipulate the web page
object model for using JavaScript within an HTML page.
Prerequisites
An understanding of a procedural or Object-Oriented language.
Knowledge of HTML and/or XML will be helpful in understanding the programming
environment of JavaScript.
