JavaScript and jQuery Training Course

• Introduction: We'll look at what JavaScript is and what it can be used for, and then we'll dive straight into adding JavaScript to a practice website
• Good Habits: It's important to mention early on what some good JavaScript coding habits are (e.g. commenting, debugging with the console & checking your code with a ‘linting’ tool), so that you feel confident that you’re doing things the right way
• Dealing with Data: Managing data is essential whether you’re working on a small site or a big app, so we’ll look at the different ways data can be stored and manipulated in JavaScript
• Interacting with Users: Here, we’ll start turning our simple web page into one that asks for user input and responds accordingly - things start to get interesting!
• Conditional Statements and Loops: In order to build websites and apps that respond to user input intelligently and engagingly, we’ll need to look at these two useful and important programming concepts
• AJAX: AJAX allows us to fetch new data (or send some data) without reloading the webpage - this makes the experience much smoother for users
• jQuery, and Other Libraries & Frameworks: Your website or app can become dramatically more full-featured if you bring in one or two carefully-chosen libraries or frameworks, so we’ll look at how you do that here
• Projects: Throughout this course, the projects we work on will include image galleries, a shopping basket checkout form, user profiles, login forms with helpful hints and password-checking, and an AJAX contact form
