Course Description

The Webmaster: JavaScript - Level 4 Course is designed to introduce students with a working knowledge of Web Design to the fundamentals of JavaScript (an object-based, event-driven Web programming language), which tightly integrates with HTML.

Students will learn the fundamentals of JavaScript through a series of interesting assignments and as the course progresses, the student's skills are honed via the development of a number of dynamic, interactive games such as the Minefield and Connect 4 games. The final assignment consists of the development of a technically demanding ‘Owzat cricket game, where the extensive JavaScript and jQuery skills learned during the course, are brought together to create a stunning application, which you will be rightly proud of.

During the course, you will learn how to:

  • create powerful JavaScript functions and event handlers;
  • implement dynamic HTML5 API's such as drag and drop and geolocation;
  • work with jQuery to produce visually stunning effects and animations;
  • incorporate AJAX and JSON technology;
  • use the JavaScript Console, with debugging techniques and breakpoints; and
  • construct powerful interactive web-based applications.

On successful completion of the course, students will receive the Distance Learning Centre Webmaster - JavaScript Diploma with comprehensive feedback and analysis of your completed work, as well as the Open Awards Quality Endorsed Unit Course Certificate.
