Course Details

JavaScript enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web applications. It is the essential technology behind Single Page Applications (SPA) and Progressive Web Applications (PWA). Modern usages of JavaScript extend beyond the browser to include creating web servers and other utility applications facilitated by programs such as NodeJS.

Students will learn to use JavaScript effectively to make their web applications more dynamic and functional and to reduce the number of roundtrips to the server. Students will learn JavaScript syntax, how to work with variables, flow control logic, and AJAX calls, as well as gain an advanced understanding of how JavaScript objects and functions work. They will learn the latest JavaScript features added with ES2015, as well as how to make use of next-generation language features that are not yet supported by major browsers.
