Modern Javascript: Develop and Design

Course details

This video is based on the highly acclaimed JavaScript book, Modern JavaScript: Develop and Design by bestselling author Larry Ullman. The video walks viewers through several key JavaScript concepts.

JavaScript today is a vastly different language, specifically because of how it's being used, due to Ajax, more consistent browser support, and the rise of frameworks. This Javascript Online course teaches the language, as it is used today and illustrates modern JavaScript's best practices, embracing key Web development approaches such as progressive enhancement.

Ullman candidly discusses three common approaches to integrating JavaScript into Web pages; understanding relative versus absolute paths; new HTML5 form elements; Ajax fundamentals, debugging JavaScript; Yahoo! Query Language (YQL); DataTables and jQuery; and using JavaScript and PHP together.
