FREE Workshop | Build an Interactive Website with JavaScript

As one of the most popular and most versatile programming languages out there today, it’s safe to say that JavaScript is a staple in the toolkit of a successful software engineer.

This free, 2-hour class is the perfect place to review and expand your existing JavaScript knowledge and apply it to a real website. (Don’t have existing JavaScript knowledge yet? Make sure to Learn the Basics before attending this class.) Learn how to define, access, and manipulate the DOM and how to program a website to change in response to user actions.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a fully functional website made with HTML, CSS and JavaScript that you can add to your portfolio. Don’t miss our final workshop next week where we’ll dive into a new language, covering the basics of Python, then you’ll Write Your First Python Script. We’ll see you there.

You’ll leave this workshop knowing:

• The role Javascript plays in web development
• How to define, access, and manipulate the DOM using Javascript to make a website interactive
• How to program the content and appearance of a website to change in response to user actions

• Interact with your instructor and fellow classmates through the Chat and Q&A.

Meggan is an alumna of GA's Software Engineering Immersive, and she now works as a Front End Engineer at Catalpa. She loves coding for the problem solving aspect, and because there's always something new to learn. Prior to studying, Meggan was lucky enough to work at GA, which is where she fell in love with the Sydney tech community and decided to pursue web development full time.

When she's not writing code, you can find her rock climbing, swimming with sharks, or doing something else that makes her parents nervous.

She also really likes dogs.
