I created a JavaScript online class called JavaScript: Unobtrusive Programming at LVS Online.com.
The main goal for students will be to further their basic knowledge of JavaScript and to understand how JavaScript can be developed to be more efficient by applying general programming concepts. This entails making your scripts more generic by taking the code out of the HTML container with only a reference to the external JS file with no “script” tags which is known as unobtrusive scripting.
This 6-week class will be covering many of the topics I have covered on this website, but with greater detail and, of course, includes on-one-one assistance.
The class is only $30 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: Unobtrusive Scripting: Three Layers of a Web Page
Week 2: The DOM: Referencing and Modifying Elements
Week 3: Creating a Custom Object: Encapsulating your Code
Week 4: Firebug: Debugging Your Scripts
Week 5: JavaScript Libraries: jQuery
Week 6: Ajax Basics: Understanding the XMLHttpRequest Object
To give you an idea of how each lesson looks, here is the first lesson (.pdf).
When Does Class Start?
The class runs five times a year for six weeks in January, March, May, August and October. To learn more view the course description page and contact me to find out the exact date on when you can register.
