Webmaster - JavaScript Course

The Webmaster - JavaScript Web Design Course has been designed to introduce students to the JavaScript Programming Language (Inc. jQuery and AJAX), which tightly integrates with HTML for designing interactive Web sites. The course consists of 10 units, which are designed to gradually build up and strengthen your technical knowledge. Interactive exercises have been designed to support the student's learning, and multiple-choice quizzes and assignments at the end of each lesson serve to ensure a thorough understanding of the subject area. Students are taken step-by-step through the lessons using innovative, interactive, multi-media computer-based training techniques, supported by highly-trained technical support specialists. The course is self-paced with no time pressure for completion; the student simply studies at home or at work when time permits. As the training programme progresses, the student's JavaScript skills are honed via interesting assignments which involve the creation of a number of dynamic, interactive games such as the Minefield and Connect 4 games, which are both challenging to build and addictive to play. The final assignment consists of the development of a technically demanding ‘Owzat cricket game, where the extensive JavaScript and jQuery skills learned during the course, are brought together to create a stunning application, which you will be rightly proud of. The course consists of the following lessons:

• Lesson 1 – Getting Started With JavaScript
• Lesson 2 – JavaScript Event Handlers
• Lesson 3 – Expanding Your JavaScript Knowledge
• Lesson 4 – The Document Object Model
• Lesson 5 – Error Handling & Debugging
• Lesson 6 – Building The Minefield Game App
• Lesson 7 – Application Programming Interfaces
• Lesson 8 – Introduction to JQuery
• Lesson 9 – JavaScript Plus
• Lesson 10 - Building The Owzat Cricket Game.

On successful completion of the course, students will receive the Distance Learning Centre Webmaster - JavaScript Diploma with comprehensive feedback and analysis of your completed work, as well as the nationally accredited Open Awards Level 4 Certificate Award.
