Advanced JavaScript & Web Application Development

This Certificate in Advanced JavaScript & Web Application Development course provides you with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in modern JavaScript programming and web development techniques. You will explore advanced topics such as object-oriented programming, form validation, dialog boxes, DOM manipulation, cookies, and GitHub integration. The course enables learners to build dynamic, interactive, and secure web applications using best practices and modern JavaScript libraries.

Objectives of the Course

• Recall the syntax and purpose of different types of loops and conditional statements in JavaScript, and apply them to solve programming problems.
• Explain the structure and hierarchy of the JavaScript Document Object Model (DOM) and manipulate HTML elements, attributes, and styles dynamically using DOM methods.
• Define core OOP concepts such as classes, objects, prototypes, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and encapsulation, and construct JavaScript code demonstrating their application.
• Recognize the benefits and common use cases of popular JavaScript libraries (e.g., jQuery, Lodash) and implement practical examples demonstrating their integration for specific tasks.
• Describe the purpose and functionality of HTTP cookies and browser local storage, and develop JavaScript code to manage data persistence.
• Illustrate basic painting and animation techniques on an HTML5 Canvas using JavaScript, and construct interactive graphics within the browser environment.
• Outline the process of uploading web pages to GitHub Pages, and configure custom domain names and HTTPS for hosted projects.
• Identify common types of errors and exceptions in JavaScript, and implement try-catch blocks and other error handling mechanisms to create robust applications.
• Differentiate between function types (built-in, user-defined, recursive, arrow functions), explain the concept of closures, and utilize methods of the JavaScript Reflect API.
• Identify and validate various HTML form elements (text, password, button, checkbox, radio, select) using client-side JavaScript, and implement strategies for enhancing form interactivity.

• Analyze and construct efficient and maintainable JavaScript programs utilizing fundamental control structures, functions, and advanced programming paradigms.
• Design and implement interactive and dynamic web interfaces by effectively manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM) and managing various HTML form elements.
• Apply object-oriented programming (OOP) principles in JavaScript to develop scalable, modular, and robust web applications.
• Evaluate and integrate external JavaScript libraries and frameworks to streamline development workflows and enhance application functionality.
• Utilize client-side storage mechanisms to create persistent and personalized user experiences within web applications.
• Create compelling visual content and interactive animations on web pages using the HTML5 Canvas API.
• Manage version control and deploy web projects efficiently using platforms like GitHub, including custom domain and secure connections.
• Debug and troubleshoot complex JavaScript applications effectively, implementing robust error and exception handling strategies.
• Differentiate between various JavaScript functions, their types, and advanced concepts like closures and the Reflect API.
• Implement comprehensive client-side form validation techniques to ensure data integrity and enhance user experience.

The Academic Approach of the course focuses on the “work centric” education i.e. begin with work (and not from a book !), derive knowledge from work and apply that knowledge to make the work more wholesome, useful and delightful. The ultimate objective is to empower the Learner to engage in socially useful and productive work. It aims at leading the learner to his/her rewarding career as well as development of the society.

Learning methodology

• Learners are given an overview of the course and its connection to life and work.
• Learners are then exposed to the specific tool(s) used in the course through the various real-life applications of the tool(s).
• Learners are then acquainted with the careers and the hierarchy of roles they can perform at workplaces after attaining increasing levels of mastery over the tool(s).
• Learners are then acquainted with the architecture of the tool or Tool Map so as to appreciate various parts of the tool, their functions and their inter-relations.
• Learners are then exposed to simple application development methodology by using the tool at the beginner’s level
• Learners then perform the differential skills related to the use of the tool to improve the given ready-made outputs.
• Learners are then engaged in appreciation of real-life case studies developed by the experts.
• Learners are then encouraged to proceed from appreciation to imitation of the experts.
• After imitation experience, they are required to improve the expert’s outputs so that they proceed from mere imitation to emulation.
• Finally, they develop the integral skills involving optimal methods and best practices to produce useful outputs right from scratch, publish them in their ePortfolio and thereby proceed from emulation to self-expression.

Evaluation Pattern of KLiC Courses consists of 4 Sections as per below table:

MKCL’s KLiC Certificate will be provided to the learner who will satisfy the below criteria:

1. Learners who have successfully completed above mentioned 3 Sections i.e. Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3
2. Additionally, learner should have completed Section 4 (i.e. Section 4 will comprise of SUPWs i.e. Socially Useful and Productive Work in form of Assignments)
   • Learner has to complete and upload minimum 2 out of 5 Assignments
