IT 411 Scripting for Interactive Systems

Overview

Students learn fundamental programming concepts with JavaScript to create interactive prototypes and web pages.

IT 411 is intended for students with no prior programming experience. Students with intermediate or advanced programming experience (i.e. successful completion of more than one programming course) may not need to take this course. They are encouraged to talk with the instructor or their adviser to see if IT 411 can be waived (based on transcripts) or if taking the Graduate Assessment Exam (GAE) would be a good option.

Course Goals

By the end of the quarter, students will be able to:

  • develop interactive prototypes and web pages using JavaScript
  • use an API to learn and apply new methods
  • dynamically generate layouts for an indeterminate number of display elements
  • access data from a server
