Synopsis

This course aims to introduce students to programming in a practical way. JavaScript is used to demonstrate concepts and techniques that are fundamental to the development of efficient and effective solutions in any programming language. Students will create interactive Web pages, and in doing so discover the practical use of variables, functions, operators, conditional statements and loops, event handlers, objects, string handling, and other general programming techniques, as well as advanced features of the JavaScript language. Assuming no previous programming experience, the course provides ample opportunity to learn programming in a relatively inexpensive and unintimidating environment.
