Discovering JavaScript
with expert Don Kiely
JavaScript has been around since Brendan Eich created the first version in just 10 days for use in Netscape Navigator 2.0 in 1995. After languishing for years, derided by "professional" programmers as a toy language, it has surged to prominence as a key technology in Web 2.0 and Ajax. This Live Learning event will explore some of the history of the language and its use in browsers, look at some browser-based development and debugging tools (the focus will be on Google Chrome, but most will be applicable to other browsers as well), and examine the lexical structure of the language. If you've been thinking about writing JavaScript code for the first time, or coming back after avoiding it for a long time, this session will give you a solid JavaScript foundation for learning more. And maybe even help you see just how good a language (parts of) it is!
