JavaScript Training

Course Code: GN-322  Duration: 3 Days

One of the great things about JavaScript is that you can approach it at so many levels. If you are an HTML developer, then JavaScript is a nice, easy to learn language that you can use to enhance your pages. If you are a serious programmer then it is superficially similar to Java and the other C-like languages, but has many interesting differences and quite a few surprises. The full course outline given below takes 3 days, but shorter versions are available if the advanced aspects such as AJAX are not required. Workshops concentrating on specific features can also be provided.
