About this Course

JavaScript and jQuery Essentials is a comprehensive hands-on course geared for web developers who need to learn basic JavaScript and jQuery to use with today’s systems and architectures to build sophisticated web interfaces. JavaScript is simple and elegant but is often difficult to work with because it’s so different from the programming languages most developers are used to utilizing. The training will guide students through a balanced mixture of theory and practical labs to gain core JavaScript development skills and have them explore its related technologies through to the use of tools and libraries to ease the development of advanced web applications.

This course also covers jQuery and provides practical and hands-on experience with the preferred JavaScript library for building rich web applications. If you are building for the web, learning jQuery will change the way you write JavaScript, working across multiple browsers and platforms. Course attendees will be able to hit the ground running right after class, applying essential JavaScript to projects at both an architectural as well as a line-by-line coding level.
