JavaScript Programming
Course
specifications
Course number: 077 921
Software version number: 4.x+
Course length: 3 days
Hardware/software
required to run this course
To complete the exercises and labs in this course, you will need
both Internet Explorer and Navigator installed. Computers should have
sufficient memory and hard-disk space to run both browsers simultaneously. We
recommend at least 32 MB of RAM and 200 MB disk space (to hold the browsers).
The course was written to run with Internet Explorer 4.0 and newer and
Navigator 4.04 and newer. Use the latest versions available. Access to the
Internet is not required during class. However, field trips to selected web
sites, noted in places throughout the course, would require such access. See
your reference manual for hardware considerations that apply to your specific
hardware setup.
Course
description
Overview: Students will learn how to program by using JavaScript 1.3.
Prerequisites: HTML Programming: Level 1 and a strong familiarity
with using the Internet or equivalent knowledge.
Delivery method: Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery
learning model with structured hands-on activities.
Benefits: Students will learn how to write JavaScript programs that
use the latest language techniques (version 1.3). Students will also learn how
to write programs that are compatible with previous versions of the language
and are cross-browser compatible.
Target student: Students enrolling in this course should have a
strong understanding of HTML programming and should have a basic familiarity
with JavaScript. They should have examined scripts written by others and have
implemented other peoples scripts on their web pages. This is a serious
programming course for those students who want to gain a full understanding of
this powerful programming language.
What's next: JavaScript Programming is the first course in this
series. Advanced JavaScript Programming, the next course in this series,
teaches students advanced language components and advanced programming
techniques.
JavaScript Programming
Performance-based
objectives
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the
course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful
completion of this course, students will be able to:
* List
the JavaScript syntax rules and implement good coding practices.
* List
the data and variable types that JavaScript supports, use the many control
statements available in JavaScript, and create and use functions.
* Describe
object characteristics, use objects, instantiate objects, and create custom
objects.
* Describe
the purpose of the Document object and use its properties, methods, and event
handlers.
* Script
with frames in mind.
* Describe
the purpose of the Form object and use its properties, methods, and event
handlers to read and write to HTML forms.
* Choose
a general process for validating user input into web forms.
* Validate
user input into HTML forms including testing for required fields, numeric data
and numeric data within a range of values specified, and string data.
* Describe
the purpose of the Date object, instantiate and use instances of the Date
object to create clocks, count-down timers, and perform date math.
* Describe
the purpose of the Math object and use its constants and methods to perform
mathematical operations.
* Characterize
the compatibility landscape and choose between the various techniques for
dealing with potential incompatibilities. Detect browsers in order to create
code that works around platform incompatibilities.

Additional
information: This course teaches cross-browser programming techniques, and thus
requires both Internet Explorer and Navigator to be installed. Students will
not be able to complete some exercises if they do not have access to both
browsers.
