About this workshop series

Join us for this two-day workshop on the JavaScript programming language aimed at beginners with little or no prior experience. This workshop provides a full introduction of programming fundamentals using JavaScript to create rich web applications. Building on their foundations, students take a hands-on approach in discovering JavaScript's relationship to HTML and CSS allowing them to create professional, relevant applications. The primary emphasis of this workshop is on the JavaScript programming language. A basic understanding of HTML and CSS is preferable.
