WEB222 Course Outline

This is an introductory course in web programming for standard browsers. Students begin by learning JavaScript, the programming language of the Web, and the focus of this course. Then, the Document Object Model (DOM) is studied, and with it, documents that use the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to define their structure and content. To affect and modify the appearance and formatting of a document, students learn and apply the foundations of the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) language. Throughout this progression of topics, JavaScript is continually used to access and modify the content and appearance of documents through the DOM interface.

1. Explain the purpose and general functionality of the World Wide Web, and its foundation protocol, HTTP.
2. Develop professional-quality web client applications that conform to standards.
3. Demonstrate competence working with the Document Object Model in modern browsers.
4. Demonstrate competence in the JavaScript programming language, applied to web client applications.
5. Demonstrate competence with the HyperText Markup Language in composing documents for the web.
6. Demonstrate competence with Cascading Style Sheets to affect the appearance of web documents.
7. Solve a wide range of common web client programming problems.
