Prerequisite:
Individuals with minimal prior programming knowledge or experience, but not necessarily in Java Script. Some high level modular programming concepts would be helpful. This course will be taught in a lab classroom environment.
Class Description:
By the use of lectures, demonstrations and lab exercises, this mini course will teach attendees how to effectively use the Java Script programming language, one of the best web scripting languages for producing interactive web pages on almost any browser. Students will learn Java Script syntax, how variables, data structures, functions and events are handled in Java Script. The course introduces the modern day concepts of object oriented, event driven programming in an easy to understand way, while reviewing the Window Object, forms objects and Document Object Model (DOM). Things that are difficult to do with ordinary HTML tags are easy to do with a little Java Script code. Sign up for this class and learn how to make your web site exciting and interactive.
Targeted for: Individuals with some previous experience in modern day structured programming languages, not necessarily in Java or Java Script (for instance, VB, Perl, C or C++ would be fine), along with exposure to creating simple web documents by hand and using windows. This class is ideal for individuals that want to learn Java Script from the ground up, and will include an overview of HTML tags, forms and the Document Object Model. The class will proceed at a pace that will allow most individuals, with the willingness to learn this material, to keep up with the class. The material in this courses is appropriate for individuals maintaining pages on a provider’s server as well as those interested in setting up their own personal or company information server. The class is structured to be as interactive as possible by making use of live demonstrations that reviewing and emphasis the concepts taught in the class and assigned as homework projects, and personal laptop computers can be brought to class for experimentation.
Handouts: Copies of the course outline slides will be provided along with relevant handouts when appropriate.

Preliminary Agenda: Topics and order are subject to change.
Class 1 - An Overview of Java Script
Getting started, and introduction to Java Script and the power of this
Object Oriented untyped scripting language.
Review the browser’s use of HTML tags in simple forms, and the components of
object oriented programming including properties, methods and events.
Introduction to Java Script’s Document Object Model hierarchy,
comments “//” or c-like, syntax errors, and demonstrate the methods
used to include Java Scripts in HTML documents and when this code is run.
Write first Java Script program.
Class 2 - The Glory Details
Introduction to Java Script case sensitive variables, implicit
type declaration and auto conversions, quoting, undefined values
and NaN (Not a Number), internal representation of data types,
assignment statements, concatenation, mathematical operators,
conditional constructs, Boolean expressions, logical connecting
and comparison operators. control flow branching (decisions)
and looping, scalar operators including numeric and string.
Using arrays.
Class 3 - Procedures, Functions and Advanced Assignments
Variables, data type and scalars review, including
topics such as auto conversion, auto increment/decrement,
advanced assignment operators and operator precedence,
relational operators and short-ciruit logical operators.
User defined functions, function calls, passing arguments to
subroutines and returning back values. Introduction to built-in
functions, Scope and Lifeime of variables, discussion on the
benefit of using local variables in Java Script, splits and joins,
numeric conversions with parseInt and parseFloat.
Class 4 - Interactive Web Pages
Controlling the Browser using the Document Object Model.
Using the window object, parent/child window communication,
Document.writes for creating dynamic html code.
Using frames, accessing elements of a form from Java Script.
Fire off Java Script functions from an user event.
Introduction to creating an user-defined object and Object Arrays.
Class 5- Advanced Topics, Use of Built-in Objects and Object Arrays
Using math and date built-in objects.
Review creating a custom object and using Object Arrays.
