JavaScript, Stage 2 Duration: 3 Days
Course Overview
Prerequisites: Knowledge of JavaScript Examples and Exercises There are numerous (standards compliant) examples available for this course that illustrate the concepts covered. In addition to the examples there are practical exercises in each section that allow attendees to explore and consolidate their knowledge of the concept. Further topics are given for future study that relate to the topics covered. Some of the exercises are done as team work; the remainder are done on an individual basis with the individual choosing the level of complexity they want to code within the exercise parameters.
Part 1 Regular expressions
This section covers Regular Expressions, what they are, their syntax and how they are used.
What is a regular expression Properties and methods Modifiers
Patterns
Special characters
Part 2 Effective device/feature detection
This section covers several different ways of detecting the features available in the many browsers that are in common use. This supports the concept of feature detection commonly used in modern development methodologies and responsive web design.
Introduction
HTML5 feature detection
Suggested webpages
Feature detection using MIME type
Part 3 Event handling
This section will look at advanced event handling which allows you to handle events such as drag/drop and touch.
Event propagation
Advanced event handling – drag and drop and touch capabilities
Part 4 Inheritance via prototype
This section looks at the way JavaScript handles Object Oriented coding via prototypal inheritance and object definition.
JavaScript objects definition Prototypes and inheritance ECMAScript classes
Part 5 Functions
This section covers the use of the arguments object with functions, plus looks at some special types of function commonly used in modern JavaScript , its frameworks and libraries.
The Arguments object First class objects Closures
Currying
Immediate functions
Self-defining functions
Part 6 Ajax and JSON/JSONP
This section will cover AJAX coding and use, plus the way JavaScript interacts with JSON and
JSONP.
AJAX technologies
Client side Server side JSON/JSONP
Part 7 Testing techniques
The final section in this course introduces unit testing and TDD which can be used in the production and testing of JavaScript code.
Unit testing
Specialist unit test environments – e.g. . js-test-driver Jasmin, QUinit
What is TDD Why use TDD
Mocks, spies and stubs
How to use TDD
