Welcome to the Javascript fun series! For web design or development, there are 3 must-know technologies, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The main aim of the Javascript fun series is to take your knowledge of these 3 (only a little is required!), and put them into practice by building a series of educational, yet fun projects that show you exactly how they work perfectly together. Working on projects and solving problems is a great way to learn
The project we will build in this class will be a Javascript Tip Calculator.
All the required tools are free to download, I will be using the following: Visual Studio Code Text Editor; Chrome Web Browser
We begin by creating the user interface with HTML. We then apply styling using CSS.
Then we add Javascript, this is where the real magic happens!
You will learn things such as:
- Creating HTML interfaces
- Styling with CSS
- Incorporating Javascript and linking external files
- Variables
- Functions
- Event handlers
- Manipulating the DOM
- Performing calculations and storing in variables
- Conditionals
- Converting values to a number
- Setting the number of decimal places of a number
- And much more!
So if you are looking to move on and put your skills into practice by building real projects, I hope to see you in class!
The class is fully project-based.
The project we will be building in this course is a Javascript Tip Calculator. We begin by creating the user interface with HTML. Then we apply styling using CSS. Then we add Javascript, this is where the real magic happens! I look forward to seeing what you create!
