HTML provides the structure for a site. CSS provides the styling. JavaScript (and the DOM) provides the interactivity for a site. Without JavaScript and the DOM, a site is static. The web is alive and shouldn’t be shackled by a non-interactive page!
Are you interested in learning how to programmatically add new content to a page? Do you want to dynamically change the styling of an element, respond to a form submission by displaying a message to the user, or learn how to measure the performance of your code? If you said, “Yes!” to any of these, then this course is for you!
