JavaScript development

This course covers modern JavaScript (EcmaScript 2015+), using JavaScript for working in browsers (UI events, manipulating HTML with DOM CSS), JavaScript modules (NPM, Webpack), and working with the server (HTTP protocol, REST, AJAX, Axios, WebSocket). It is a basis for learning Angular and React web frameworks.

Objectives

Upon completion of the course, trainees will have a good understanding of JavaScript capabilities and get a solid basis for further usage of web frameworks such as React or Angular. They will learn the language structure, syntax, and its object model. The DOM model for HTML documents will be reviewed in detail, as well as CSS and techniques for managing DOM and CSS using JavaScript. Trainees will also learn event handling models and form creation and get an overview of JSON and Ajax technologies, asynchronicity, and working with the server.
