JavaScript Training Overview

Accelebrate's Mastering JavaScript training class teaches attendees how to make their Web pages more interactive by using JavaScript, an easy-to-learn scripting language supported by all popular Web browsers. Attendees will learn how to write JavaScript code for form validation, calculating total orders, conditional navigation (taking the user to a page based on information they enter), image rollovers (e.g., having a button light up when the user moves their mouse over it), and more.

Location and Pricing

Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. To receive a customized proposal and price quote, please contact us.

In addition, some courses are available as live, online classes for individuals.  To see a schedule of online courses, please visit http://www.accelebrate.com/online_training/xml_html_js.htm.

JavaScript Training Prerequisites

Mastering XHTML & CSS training or equivalent experience. If attendees will not have thorough knowledge of HTML, please let us know and we will precede this course with a one-day HTML primer. No prior programming experience is assumed, though this course can be swiftly adapted for a programming-savvy audience.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This JavaScript training class is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 10 minutes. Students "learn by doing," with immediate opportunities to apply the material they learn to real-world problems.

JavaScript Training Materials

All JavaScript training students receive a copy of O'Reilly's JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, related courseware, and a CD-R copy of the files they create during the class.

Software Needed on Each Student PC

  • Firefox 1.5 or later or Internet Explorer 6 or later
  • The Web page or text editor that students will be using after class

JavaScript Training Objectives

  • To teach attendees the fundamentals of JavaScript programming, including the use of the core JavaScript objects and the syntax of the language (statements, conditionals, loops, functions, etc.)
  • To teach students how to immediately put JavaScript to use writing code for validating forms, totaling orders, handling image rollovers and other display tasks, conditionally navigating the user to various pages, and more.
