A website is only as good as the user experience. That means that if a visitor to your site does not have an enjoyable experience they will quickly leave and never return. One of the ways to improve visitor retention to your site is create dynamic webpages using JavaScript. JavaScript is a special web language used on 99.99% of the websites on the Internet. Anytime you see a button change colors when you click on it, or an ad pops-up and moves across the screen, JavaScript was used to make that happen.
Any person serious about becoming a website developer needs to learn JavaScript. If you like a challenge, are creative and would enjoy seeing your ideas realized on the web, then learning Dynamic Web Pages with JavaScript is for you.
This course is for anyone who wants to start a new career as a website developer and / or is interested in creating exciting, interactive websites for an online web business.
