JavaScript Training

JavaScript is the key to producing powerful and interactive web pages. Historically JavaScript has been used to provide feedback and validation for user input, but is now being increasingly used to provide a more dynamic user experience. The full course outline given below takes 3 days, but shorter versions are available if the advanced aspects such as AJAX are not required. Workshops concentrating on specific aspects can also be provided.

The 3 day course costs £1770 in total for up to 6 students, plus VAT and the instructor's reasonable expenses. Each student beyond 6 would cost £20 for the additional course materials. If you are interested in this course, please contact us by email at enquiries@tgn.co.uk or by phone on +44 (0)1285 713297.
