JavaScript HTX: Vanilla JavaScript in the Browser

Ready to get back to basics? Join JavaScript HTX for a hands-on workshop where we’ll dive into client-side JavaScript, focusing on core programming constructs and dynamic DOM manipulation using vanilla JavaScript.

Whether you're looking to solidify your understanding of JavaScript fundamentals or learn how to respond to user interactions in real-time, this session will give you practical experience with real-world web development patterns.

What We’ll Cover:

• Core Fundamentals: Declaring variables, writing reusable functions, and utilizing control flow loops.
• DOM Traversal & Manipulation: Selecting DOM elements, updating content and styles, and creating elements dynamically.
• Event Handling & Interactive Pages: Attaching event listeners, handling user input, and updating UI components in real-time.

🛠️ Prerequisites & What to Bring:

• Knowledge: A working understanding of HTML/XML and the Document Object Model. A basic understanding of modern JavaScript (variables, functions, async/await).
• Set-up: We will be using GitHub Codespaces. An account at github.com is required.

Who Should Attend?
Developers, students, self-taught programmers, and hobbyists looking to expand their JavaScript skills into backend web development. All experience levels are welcome, but familiarity with basic JavaScript syntax will help you get the most out of this session!
