OBJECTIVES

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide delegates with the skills and knowledge necessary to build modern,managed JavaScript applications that exploit modern syntax. Delegates should be able to devise object-oriented and functional solutions to problems,and deal with asynchronous tasks such as IO.

AUDIENCE

Who will the Course Benefit?

The Intermediate JavaScript course is aimed at JavaScript developers who have a handle on the fundamentals and want to take the next step. It may also be of value to those who wish to refresh/renew their knowledge of JavaScript after some time away from it.
