The Javascript scripting language is widely used in the producing of modern HTML5 based web applications. This course guides non-experienced programmers through the tasks of writing and maintaining object-based programs in Javascript.

Duration: 3 days

Who is it for: This course is designed for non-experienced programmers that need to write or maintain object-based Javascript applications.

Layout: The course is spread over a three-day period and comprises of instructor-led presentations and practical hands-on exercises. The practical sessions are structured to give the delegates the opportunity to put into practice all of the language constructs covered during the instructor-led sessions. The delegates will be able to take away with them copies of all the code they have written, along with sample solutions and demonstration code
