JavaScript / jQuery (4-class series)

http://webstartwomen.com/misc/master_jscript.jpg

Join us for this four-class series where you'll walk away with the know-how to work with JavaScript & jQuery.

Description

Any time something changes when you are viewing a website, you've just seen JavaScript in action.

When you:

• are on Facebook and a notification pops up that you have a new comment
• are filling out a form and a flag indicates that you made an error
• hover over a movie at Netflix and the description pops up
• see something animate, grow, shrink, fade in or out

That's JavaScript doin' its thing.

JavaScript is the key to making your website dynamic and responsive. Using it effectively will help you manage input and respond to your users.

This course will give you a good working understanding of JavaScript and how to manipulate the page. We'll start with the basics and progress towards jQuery - a JavaScript library that will make your pages go whizz, bang, boom. (In a good way, of course).

Pre-requisite:

Understanding of and experience with HTML/CSS. Wondering if you're ready? Shoot us an email!
