JavaScript & jQuery

Web Development Level 3 Training

Kick your sites up a notch by adding animation and interactivity to create an amazing user experience. Words just don’t do this training justice, so be sure to check out the examples to truly see how cool it is.

We start with learning the fundamentals of JavaScript code, and then get into jQuery. jQuery is an industry standard framework that lets you quickly and easily write powerful JavaScript. With it you’ll create animated slideshows, lightboxes (image enlargers), show/hide content and more. Once you know jQuery, you can add much cool stuff to websites!

This advanced level course is for people who have experience building webpages. It is a coding class, so HTML & CSS knowledge equivalent to our Web Development Level 2 class is expected.

  • Carousel sliders let you easily scroll through content.

  • Create cycle slideshows that you can fully control.
