JavaScript - Advanced
Course Description
The complexity of modern web sites and web applications requires the most advanced approaches and techniques possible, and this two-day course gives web developers comprehensive insights into client-side design and implementation, and from that, advanced skills in JavaScript and DHTML.
The course establishes fundamental aspects of programming and software-design theory and, from there, introduces powerful principles, including closures, prototypes and polymorphic approaches to cross-browser incompatibilities, along with the use of object composition and 'decoration' in the complex processing of user input.
