The Python I and II courses start with an introduction to the Python scripting language. The purpose of these courses is to prepare students for building scripts that control a sequence of program steps, such as those used in developing, testing, and deploying software. Python I begins with an introduction to basic techniques in scripting using Python, and Python II builds upon those techniques. Python II also introduces curriculum designed for testing applications, constructing web scraping scripts, networking to manage applications, and automation.

The JavaScript I and II courses begin with an introduction to JavaScript. We assume that you’re new to the language, so we start with basic functionality such as creating functions, variables, and calling these lines of code from your standard HTML pages. We cover events and triggers for custom event handling, pattern matching, searching for text within a page, flow control, and the Document Object Model (DOM). The course starts with the basics and moves on to more complex topics such as arrays and objects. We also discuss how to script common elements with JavaScript, such as forms and tables. Toward the end, we cover major libraries such as Ajax, which allows you to make asynchronous calls to server-side scripts without reloading the web page. Whether you’re just starting in web design or want to learn how to code JavaScript, this course is for you.
