Syllabus: Introduction to JavaScript Programming

Course Description:

This course provides an in-depth introduction to JavaScript, a versatile programming language


widely used for adding interactivity and dynamic features to websites. By the end of the course,
students will be able to write, debug, and implement JavaScript code to create interactive and
functional web applications.

Course Objectives:

1. Understand the fundamentals of JavaScript and its role in web development.


2. Learn how to manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) to create dynamic web
pages.
3. Develop problem-solving skills through JavaScript coding exercises.
4. Master advanced concepts such as events, functions, and asynchronous programming.
