With the general introduction of JavaScript in the first course, this course will focus on JavaScript libraries, specifically jQuery. The scripts will be geared toward Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation. Learners will describe the top JavaScript libraries and differentiate which would work best to implement and accelerate development of web page animation.
Course objectives include being introduced to the end product of the course – a landing page style website using jQuery elements to manipulate HTML documents and enhance user experience. Diving deeper into the landing page that will be created and break it out into individual jQuery projects. jQuery events and effects will be covered while exploring more jQuery’s relationship with HTML documents. Finally, a focus on plugins and continue to breakdown jQuery's ability to manipulate HTML and CSS.
In this module, you will be introduced to jQuery and basic jQuery syntax and we will compare it to JavaScript syntax. You will be able to plug-in the jQuery library and discuss the history of jQuery and its relationship to JavaScript. You'll also use some of the selectors and filters available in jQuery to access DOM elements. You will be able to create an interactive element that could be used on a website and be able to identify and fix coding and logic problems while working on a project. You will be able to demonstrate proficiency with both JavaScript and jQuery for accessing and manipulating elements on a web page.
