Intro to JavaScript and jQuery

JavaScript is a language that all good web developers must know. Around since the early 90s, it's still the primary way to do client side web development. We will be covering everything from basic JavaScript, the jQuery library, and dynamic HTML to JSON and APIs. Students will exit this class having a good grasp of basic programming principles and the knowledge of how to manipulate HTML elements.

We suggest having a working knowledge of HTML as a prerequisite for this course. (Don't know HTML? Sign up for our January intro (https://www.meetup.com/Girl-Develop-It-Austin/events/93485802/)!)

Saturday, February 16th from 12:00-4:00pm

Class 2: Chaining, element manipulation, JSON and AJAX with jQuery

About the instructor

My name is Kassandra Perch, and I am a web developer in the Austin, Texas area. My background is as a PHP developer in college, and now I'm moving forward with my career as a web developer and with my education. My eventual goal is to be a professor of computer science. I still volunteer-teach at St. Edward's for the Loosely Organized Computer Organization (LOCO), which I co-founded as a student. When I'm not coding, I"m making jewelry, knitting, crocheting, or sewing things for my young relatives and friends. I also do lots of cartooning in my spare time, and love to draw. I have been an Austin native for over 5 years, and currently reside in the Tech Ridge area with my boyfriend Brad (also a developer, and a great baker), a roomate, and my two cats, Jack and Ace.
