Module 4
In Module 4, I learned about JavaScript, the programming language of HTML and the Web. JavaScript differs from PHP in that PHP scripting is done on the server-side, whereas JavaScript is completed client-side on your web browser.
Learning JavaScript is important, because it allows you to program the behavior of web pages. Combined with HTML, which defines the content of web pages, and CSS, which specifies the layout, JavaScript can be used to create complex, dynamic, web pages that respond to the actions of the visitor. You may find the assignments I completed for this module by clicking on the links to the left, or below:
- In the first week, I completed the Codecademy JavaScript Tutorial, which provided me lessons and an interactive development to learn how to program with JavaScript.
- In the second week, I completed the W3Schools JavaScript Tutorial, which reinforced my learning of JavaScript elements and its interaction with HTML elements. Afterwards, I took the W3Schools JavaScript quiz to test my knowledge.
