JavaScript Introduction

This class will give students a thorough introduction to the JavaScript language. At the end of this class, students will be able to create JavaScript functions that define variables and arrays and that use if statements, switch/case statements, for loops and while loops. Students will be able to work with the Document Object Model (DOM) for manipulating web pages and testing user input in forms. Students will be able to write scripts that create and read cookies and respond to user interaction through mouseovers and clicks. An understanding of HTML/XHTML and programming is useful but not necessary for this course. No software is needed.

Lesson 1: Getting Started

This lesson will build the foundation for all the work we will do in this course. In this lesson we will learn about the history of JavaScript and how to include scripts in a web page. We will create a simple script that will introduce you to JavaScript syntax. And probably the most useful thing you will learn is how to find and fix errors in your programs.
