JavaScript 101
Approximately 98% of all websites use the JavaScript programming language. JavaScript enables us to embed both client-side and server-side logic into websites and web applications. Understanding some of the most popular web development libraries and frameworks such as React and Vue requires knowledge of JavaScript. In this workshop you will learn how to use JavaScript to add client-side logic to your websites. We will explore JavaScript syntax and learn basic DOM (Document Object Model) manipulation using JavaScript.
Upon completion of this workshop you will:
- Learn the basic syntax of JavaScript.
- Understand the basics of interacting with the DOM (Document Object Model) using JavaScript.
- Be able to read and write small snippets of JavaScript code.
- Learn basic JavaScript debugging using DevTools.
Please ensure that your computer is running the latest version of Google Chrome and Visual Studio Code.
This workshop assumes no previous knowledge of programming or JavaScript, but participants should have the skills taught in the HTML & CSS 101 workshop one week prior.
