FREE Workshop | JavaScript Basics

With a solid foundation of HTML & CSS under your belt, it’s time to take it to the next level and learn one of today’s most in-demand coding languages, JavaScript.

In this free, 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn about the history and relevance of JavaScript, and get hands-on practice with basic syntax like logging, variables, and data structures. Then, take it up a notch and practice applying "dark mode" to your browser with the click of a button.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be ready to take on a new challenge: Build an Interactive Website with JavaScript. Next week, you’ll add interactivity to the website you built with HTML & CSS in week 2. We’ll see you there.

You’ll leave this workshop knowing:

• The history and context of JavaScript today
• The benefits and limitations of JavaScript
• Basic JavaScript syntax like logging, variables, data structures, and more
• How to turn a browser to dark mode with the click of a button

• This is an entry level workshop, so no prior JavaScript knowledge is necessary. It will be helpful to know basic HTML & CSS though.
• If you plan to participate live, make sure you have a free Codepen account
• A pre-built version of the original website will be provided before class.
• A recording will be shared after the series so you can review the content anytime.
• Your mic and camera will be off for the duration of the workshop.
• 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.
