COURSE OBJECTIVE:
Course Objectives This course aims to provide delegates with the skills and knowledge necessary to build modern,managed JavaScript applications that exploit modern syntax. Delegates should be able to devise object-oriented and functional solutions to problems,and deal with asynchronous tasks such as IO.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Who will the Course Benefit? The Intermediate JavaScript course is aimed at JavaScript developers who have a handle on the fundamentals and want to take the next step. It may also be of value to those who wish to refresh/renew their knowledge of JavaScript after some time away from it.
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
Requirements Delegates should be able to produce scripts that exploit the fundamental features of the language including variables,functions,conditions and loops,DOM manipulation and event handling. Delegates should also be familiar with HTML and CSS. This knowledge can be gained by attendance on the pre-requisite Core JavaScript course.
