DESCRIPTION As JavaScript is platform independent, it is by far the most popular web scripting language. It is increasingly difficult to find a web page that does not have JavaScript included! This JavaScript workshop focuses on the use of JavaScript as a client-side script (script executed in the web browser). JavaScript can equally be used as server-side script. Encapsulated in Active Server Pages, the script will be executed by the web server.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Themes as validation of HTML forms, layout enhancement, manipulation of the browser window and setting cookies are explored with ready-to-use scripts at hand. A crash course in the structure of the programming language and its object model and syntax analysis of popular scripts will give you a sound theoretical knowledge. You will have a complete overview of the scripting language with the ASP object model at hand. You will write a fair amount of ASP scripts from basic to very advanced

WHO SHOULD ATTEND Any web designer.

ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE You must have a working knowledge of HTML. Some programming experience is recommended.
