In this workshop, participants will learn several basic concepts in JavaScript, the programming language that is used to make HTML documents interactive and dynamic. While not going into significant depth, the session will provide a high-level overview of several fundamental concepts and practices, such as variables, methods, and data structures. By the end, participants will leave with a comfortable familiarity with interpreting, writing, and troubleshooting basic JavaScript code. When registering for this session, a basic understanding of HTML and CSS is assumed. To participate, attendees are asked to create a free account on JSFiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/) to follow along.
