This course teaches you how to create desktop and web-based applications using Java Swing, Java's built-in user interface toolkit. Each tutorial is fairly self-contained; but we'll also build two complete applications step by step along the way, so you can choose either to work through the whole course or to dip in and out. Among other things we'll look at nearly all Swing widgets, we'll take a look at JDBC for database access, the graphics API, model-view-controller (MVC) architecture, serialization for saving data, the listener-event model and even basic animation. When you finish the course, you'll be an advanced Swing developer, capable of creating complex and scalable Swing GUI applications.
The ability to read data and communicate information asynchronously is fundamental to modern web applications. In this course, author Ray Villalobos takes a look at integrating AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) with JavaScript and jQuery—a combination that makes it easy to work with dynamic data and reduces the number of requests to the server. The course first explains what AJAX is, and shows how to load and reload pages with pure JavaScript, update the DOM, and read and parse data in the XML and JSON formats. Next, learn how to read and write information between the server and the client with AJAX methods in jQuery, and build a dynamic search application that updates search results as you type.
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) has replaced XML as the core way of sharing data, especially when it comes to JavaScript, since it's so much faster, sleeker, and easier to parse. In this course, dive into working with JSON tools, designing JSON objects, and using different ways to handling JSON data. Author Ray Villalobos also shows how to use AJAX and jQuery to parse your data and feeds, and shows JavaScript and JSON in action in a real-world practical application.
Learn everything you need to build world-class web applications in this JavaScript class for beginners. JavaScript Basics I and II provides you with all of the training you
need to build world-class web applications. Begin with JavaScript basics,
including control statements, functions, arrays, objects, events, CSS, DOM,
and more. Then, master scripting with XML and RSS, and finish by learning to
build the rich Ajax applications that are taking the Web by storm! Your instructor, Paul Deitel, delivers over 14 hours of world-class video training. Using the Deitels' signature "live-code" approach, Paul teaches by analyzing complete working programs, not trivial code fragments.
JavaScript Essential Training takes viewers through the process of using JavaScript to fully realize a site's potential, from understanding the basics to creating real-world samples. Instructor Dori Smith explains how to work with objects, create buttons and forms that interact with site visitors, make rollovers, menus, slideshows, and countdowns, and take advantage of other practical applications. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.
Use JavaScript to add new features and a richer, more compelling user interface on web pages. This course keeps current best practices and practical uses for JavaScript in mind, while covering syntax, working with the DOM, and developing and debugging across multiple platforms, devices, and browsers. Author Simon Allardice also shows how to progressively enhance and gracefully degrade web pages, and take advantage of the world of JavaScript libraries now available.
A few years ago, Javascript’s potential was uncertain and many programmers considered it useless. These days, however, competent programmers have identified Javascript’s real potential and uses, and it has gone from a toy language to the main language of the browser. It has become one of the most useful languages of this era. Every developer needs at least a basic understanding of Javascript. A developer who knows Javascript is the rockstar of the company and is in constant demand by employers. Our online Javascript course will get you started by teaching all the essential aspects of coding in Javascript.
