Waar vindt de incompany training JavaScript Basis plaats?
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Can the content be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
Wat kost JavaScript Basis incompany?
Je krijgt een vaste prijs voor de hele groep, in een offerte op maat. Met een groep is dat voordeliger dan iedereen los inschrijven.
Can the course be delivered in English?
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.
How do I request a quote?
Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.
What do you learn in the JavaScript Basics course?
In the JavaScript Basics course you learn to add interactivity to websites using JavaScript. You cover the fundamentals, variables, operators, functions, arrays, objects, conditional statements and loops. You also work with events, event handlers and the Document Object Model (DOM). The course concludes with an introduction to jQuery, so that you have a solid basis for follow-up courses.
How long does the JavaScript Basics course take and what is the delivery format?
The JavaScript Basics course takes three days and is given in the Open Learning format. This means that, with active guidance from an experienced trainer, you work on the topics that are relevant to you. You work in a small group at your own pace, with immediate feedback. That way you learn the practical basics of JavaScript.
Do you need prior knowledge for the JavaScript Basics course?
Yes, for the JavaScript Basics course you need a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS. JavaScript works together with the HTML and CSS of your website and adds interactivity to it. Programming experience is not a requirement, as you start with the basic principles and learn step by step to write your first own scripts under the guidance of an experienced trainer.
Who is the JavaScript Basics course suitable for?
The JavaScript Basics course is suitable for website builders and beginning web developers who want to add more interactivity to their websites. You will benefit from this course if you already work with HTML and CSS and want to give your code a new dimension. It also provides a solid basis as a stepping stone to follow-up techniques such as jQuery.
Do you receive a certificate after the JavaScript Basics course?
Yes, after completing the JavaScript Basics course you receive a certificate of participation. This certificate confirms that you have attended the training course and have been introduced to the main components of JavaScript, such as variables, functions, arrays, objects, the DOM and jQuery. You can add the certificate to your CV or LinkedIn profile as proof of your new skills.
What can you build on your website after the JavaScript Basics course?
After the JavaScript Basics course you'll be able to add interactive elements to websites you've built with HTML and CSS. Think of form validation, click actions, dynamic content via the Document Object Model (DOM) and event handlers that respond to user behaviour. You'll write your own scripts with variables, functions, arrays and loops, and get to know jQuery as a next step.
When should you choose a classroom JavaScript course rather than self-study via YouTube or an online platform?
Self-study works fine for the syntax, but often grinds to a halt as soon as you have to apply concepts such as scope, the DOM or event handlers in combination. A classroom course is worthwhile if you want results faster, need targeted feedback or keep getting stuck on error messages that online tutorials do not explain. The JavaScript Basics course at Learnit is taught in the open learning format: you work on exercises yourself, while an experienced trainer looks on and steers where needed. You decide which topics take priority, for example variables and functions, or rather arrays, objects and the DOM. Choose self-study if you have plenty of time and are patient. Choose this course if you want to lay a working foundation and get direct answers about your own code.
What is the difference between learning JavaScript in this Open Learning course and a fixed classroom schedule?
In the open learning format you decide for yourself which topics you tackle during the course day, with active guidance from a trainer. You work through the material at your own pace and can go deeper into what's relevant to your work, for example the DOM, events or a first introduction to jQuery. In a fixed classroom schedule everyone covers the same topics in the same order, regardless of prior knowledge. The open learning format suits you better if you already know some HTML and CSS and want to add specific JavaScript skills, or if you're bringing specific questions from a current web project. The course lasts one day and covers, among other things, variables, functions, arrays, objects, conditional statements, loops and event handlers. You work directly in practice, not just theoretically.
