What you will learn
Object-Oriented Javascript
Event Handling
Why take this course?
JavaScript is the backbone of interactivity on the web, powering everything from simple page animations to complex web applications. As a dynamic scripting language that allows you to implement client-side logic and interact with users in real-time, JavaScript has become an indispensable tool for developers around the globe.
**What You’ll Discover in This Course:**
π **The Power of Prototyping:**
In this course, you’ll learn how JavaScript’s prototypal nature allows for rapid and flexible development. Every object is an instance of a class, which means you can define objects on the fly to suit your needs. This flexibility is unparalleled in more structured languages, enabling a wide array of design patterns that simply aren’t possible elsewhere.
π **Interacting with Browsers:**
JavaScript is interpreted by browsers, which have evolved over time to provide developers with significant freedoms. You’ll discover how to use the browser console to explore and even modify the JavaScript running behind your favorite sites. Plus, we’ll introduce you to powerful tools that make working with JavaScript not just manageable, but downright enjoyable.
π οΈ **Debugging Made Simple:**
With the right tools and techniques, debugging in JavaScript can be straightforward and efficient. You’ll learn how to trace errors back to their source, set breakpoints, and utilize unit testingβall within the browser console or with tools like FireBug.
ποΈ **Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript:**
Although JavaScript might not have been designed with object orientation as its primary focus, it has since proven to be an excellent candidate for implementing OOP design patterns and principles. In this course, you’ll explore how JavaScript supports these concepts and what that means for your development workflow.
π **Growing in Scope:**
JavaScript has grown exponentially over the past decade. It’s fully supported by all modern browsers and integrates seamlessly with HTML/DHTML, CSS3, and background services via AJAX. You’ll get a sense of JavaScript’s growing popularity and compare it to other popular languages.
