This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the JavaScript programming language. Students will learn the fundamentals of JavaScript, including its syntax, data types, control structures, and object-oriented programming concepts. The course will also cover the use of JavaScript in both client-side and server-side (Node.js) web development.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Understand the role and history of JavaScript in web development
  2. Write, test, and debug JavaScript code in both client-side and server-side environments
  3. Work with JavaScript data types, variables, operators, and expressions
  4. Implement control structures (conditional statements, loops) in JavaScript
  5. Define and use functions, including arrow functions and closures
  6. Understand and apply object-oriented programming concepts in JavaScript
  7. Manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) and handle events
  8. Develop basic web applications using JavaScript and HTML/CSS
  9. Explore modern JavaScript features (ES6+) and their usage
  10. Build simple server-side applications using Node.js and Express
