JavaScript Language CACS 436 This course will cover programming techniques such as controlling program flow, looping structures, defining and manipulating functions and the various uses of JavaScript's object properties and methods. However, this course is not intended to teach general programming concepts; therefore, students should be familiar with general programming concepts such as variables, statements, parameter passing and the idea of modularized code (i.e. functions/subroutines/methods). This hands-on course will have a lot of in-class exercises using JavaScript in practical applications such as verifying different types of form field data, browser detection, reading, writing and deleting cookies, creating new pages dynamically and writing user
