What is JavaScript Training?

Our 2-day JavaScript Training Course provides developers with the essential JavaScript knowledge needed to get to grips with building dynamic, interactive web pages with sophisticated user interfaces.

JavaScript Training

JavaScript provides a platform for dynamically changing HTML page elements and applying CSS at runtime, and now underpins frameworks and libraries like jQuery which are at the heart of leading-edge web development.

Our practical 2-day JavaScript training course provides a solid introduction for developers. If you are already confident using JavaScript and want to develop your skills we provide an Advanced JavaScript course.
