Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this intro to programming class:

This workshop provides a full introduction of programming fundamentals using JavaScript to create rich web applications. Building on the foundations you learn, students take a hands-on approach in showing JavaScript's relationship to HTML and CSS to create professional, relevant applications. The primary emphasis of this workshop is on the JavaScript programming language, with secondary emphasis on HTML and CSS.

Join us for this workshop on the JavaScript programming language aimed at beginners with little or no prior experience.
