JavaScript 301
JavaScript 301 will pick up where 201 left off focusing on the more graphics intensive capabilities. We will use plain JavaScript, jQuery and Raphael to make interactive graphics that you would think were made with Flash. What’s the advantage of making interactive graphics in JavaScript? You will learn about this too!
If you have no experience with JavaScript then try our JavaScript 101 course first. But if you’ve got the basics of JavaScript then you are ready to learn about all the awesome power behind this easy to learn programming language. If you consider yourself an intermediate JavaScript programmer, you can still benefit from an introduction to jQuery and Raphael and how to best use these on the web. You will leave being able to make impressive graphics that display interactive information. Yay! Pie charts for the boss!
