Complete JavaScript, XML, AJAX and React Bootcamp - Hands-On

Hello and welcome to this exciting new course, where we explore some of the most powerful front-end development languages used in modern web development. In this course you will learn to harness the power of JavaScript, XML, AJAX, and React to build highly interactive web pages from scratch. We start with an introduction into the document object model, followed by an in-depth guide to the essentials of JavaScript.

In the JavaScript section you will learn a number of concepts instrumental towards your journey as a developer. This includes working with variables, arithmetic operators, objects, functions, arrays, events, and loops. You will also learn the importance of JavaScript placement, while working with both internal and external JavaScript code components.

Students learn the importance of operator precedence when performing simple and complex arithmetic operations. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to work with conditional statements to perform comparisons between different operations. Once you have a handle on the foundations, we'll dive into a number of JavaScript development projects where you will have an opportunity to apply your new skills with practical hands-on exercises.

This includes building an automated background color changer, and photo gallery complete with mouse overs and image transitions. In the second section of the course we will explore XML and AJAX to demonstrate the power of asynchronous page updates. This means building web components that automatically update on a web page, without having to manually refresh.
