Scripting for Web Applications

The Scripting for Web Applications Course explores client-side languages and how they can be used to implement additional behaviors into web pages. Students will learn the industry-standard client-side language of JavaScript and its associated libraries along with the Document Object Model (DOM). Students will then use those technologies combined with a valid markup language (XHTML) and presentation definition language (CSS) to add dynamic behavior via DHTML. This course focuses on the use of JavaScript to write functions that are embedded in or included from HTML pages and interact with the Document Object Model of the page to perform tasks not possible in HTML alone.
