Simple start with JavaScript and w3schools

This lecture supplements reading the appropriate sections of JavaScript on w3schools. Our approach is not in exhaustive learning of each command and feature which can take a couple of semesters but get initially a simple introduction to the main features of the language allowing to start programming your web pages. Later you will be getting more confidence in the use of these features, will periodically reread various web tutorials or google specific problems. But this will be much easier when working on some live code and having in mind some web project.

Purpose of this blog

Since the course is hands-on, dynamic, and in online format - I will be running a blog that will substitute professor's commentary that you might get in face-to-face classes. It will allow make such comments more timely (whenever they have to be done and not only during class sessions) and more tailored to the current class performance and activities. Here you will find my current comments on the tasks, grades, additional help materials, etc.
The additional and help material will be published separately and linked to from this blog. Check this blog often since I assume that you've read it and consider it in my evaluation of your course work, task creation, and quiz questions. Additional advice, requirements, or modifications in the weekly tasks will also be posted here.

Watch for the new titles of posts arriving in the blog section (right-bottom corner of the page) on Moodle.
