JavaScript is a simple and powerful programming language that adds interactivity to otherwise static Web pages. You can use JavaScript to validate data, such as credit card information, HTML forms, create dynamic pull-down menu, run animated slideshows, and display attention-getting rotating banners. JavaScript is also favored by web professionals for tracking Web pages using Google Analytics and for creating Paypal merchant services. This course will give the participant a comprehensive look at JavaScript.
