Intro to JavaScript (Beginner Level)

Tuesdays in April

7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Price: $90.00 /per person

JavaScript is the world’s most popular programming language for a reason — it’s the primary way to build interaction on the web. Learning JavaScript is a logical next step once you’ve learned HTML/CSS.

Many programming courses end up glossing over some of the tricky words — ‘variable’, ‘object’, ‘method’ — this course is especially designed for beginners new to programming concepts, so you’ll learn to program with JavaScript. If those words are confusing to you now, no worries! You’re exactly who we want to teach.

In this class, we will be covering: basic development concepts, JavaScript, dynamic HTML, and animations and events. Students will exit this class with a good grasp of basic programming principles and the knowledge of how to manipulate HTML elements.
