WW523 - Advanced Applications of JavaScript
Course Description
This class introduces you to AJAX and JQuery. You will use the BOM (Browser Object Model) to control timing and to change the user’s web experience, based on past interactions using cookies. Discover how to create an automatically-rotating slide show or a clock by using JavaScript to control timing on your Web pages. Understand how to use AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) combining client-side JavaScript with the power of XML. Gather and show information from an XML file and a database. Learn how to use AJAX to create drop-down form menus that are automatically populated based on your users’ input. This course also introduces the popular JavaScript library jQuery, which allows you to quickly and gracefully select portions of the document, dynamically show or hide content, add animations and effects, and easily handle cross-browser compatibility concerns. Additional topics include creating web pages that show mouse over events and dynamically respond to user typing, and reducing server-side interactions to speed up your web pages.
