[Hidden-tech] Javascript course at Greenfield Community College starting January 29

[Mark D. Hamill]

I will be teaching a course on Javascript at Greenfield Community College
starting Thursday, January 26. The class is for credit (3 semester hours)
and will be taught Thursdays from 3 PM to 5:45 PM in the East Building on
Main Campus, Room E144.

There are prerequisites: CIS-150 (Programming Principles and Concepts) or
CIS-151 (Website development). It may be possible to audit the course, but
I'm not sure what that might involve. Obviously it's not free. Even with
in-state tuition the course will cost over $600, but you will get an in
depth exposure to Javascript and jQuery through lecture, labs, assignments
and projects.

that integrate intelligently with the HTML DOM and that follow the best
practices for programming in Javascript
2. Understand how Javascript works, including its syntax and proper coding
techniques
3. Debug Javascript coding errors

5. Contrast how jQuery works compared to traditional Javascript and its
relationship to styles and the HTML DOM via selectors
6. Change the behavior of a webpage using DOM events with both Javascript
and jQuery
7. Use jQuery to do webpage animations and effects
8. Learn how to use the jQuery UI (User Interface) and jQuery Mobile
frameworks with jQuery
9. Use Javascript and jQuery to asynchronously exchange data with servers
via AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) and JSON (Javascript Object
Notation)
