Basic knowledge of HTML is required. Some experience concerning another programming language is desirable, but not required.
Class training with individual guidance alternated with exercises and the possibility to ask questions. Each student disposes of a workstation and receives an English course book.

To create more sophisticated pages and sites for the World Wide Web, knowledge of HTML or a graphical tool (e.g. Microsoft Frontpage) is unsatisfactory. The use of scripting languages (like Vbscript or JavaScript) offers more functionality. JavaScript is a simple object oriented programming language that interacts with HTML pages. This makes it possible to develop webpages which are more interactive and dynamic than with HTML alone.
This course only covers the use of Client Side JavaScript (JavaScript ingrained in a HTML-document), using a browser of your choice (Internet Explorer, Firefox, or possibly an other one). Following this approach, programming possibilities of JavaScript are tested practically.
The syntax and coding of JavaScript blocks are this course's fundamentals. Its extensions are interaction towards a user or an application. Generating control structures such as 'if. then' and loops (while, for.in) in JavaScript, just as using a variety of buttons, offer procedural functionality.
JavaScript is an object oriented language. The course deals with definitions as objects, properties and methods in a neatly arranged way. It discusses Built-in objects, Windows, Forms and Frames in more detail. To this end, also the Document Object Model (DOM) of the web page will have to be discussed.
Finally, we learn about JavaScript Cookies.
After attending this course the student is capable of embellishing a website with JavaScript. He will have gathered good knowledge of the basic concepts of JavaScript in relation to HTML. Additionally, perception of the object model of JavaScript is obtained.
