‘Build-Your-Own-Curriculum’ Series

• 10:00am
  • Doors Open
• 10:00 am – 11:00 am
  • Questions / obstacles / problem solving (optional)
    • for those who ran into any issues during the week that we were unable to solve, you can come by early and we can figure out what is going on
• 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
  • JavaScript: Interactive Patterns
    • Interface interactions can be broken down to three main concerns:
      • Elements – the HTML elements involved
      • Events – the events that may take place (user events such as clicks, keystrokes;
        or any other types of events that JavaScript makes available to us)
      • Instructions – the instructions that we want to take place when events occur
    • During this session, we will go through a series of common interactive experiences that we find on the web, and observe how this pattern is implemented. For this section we will build:
      • A tooltip component
      • A pop-up or modal component
      • A letter-counter component (like what you might find on Twitter)
• 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
  • JavaScript Form Validation: intermediate
    • We will take a look at validating some more complex form input structures such as Radio Buttons or Checkboxes
    • To do this, we will investigate some more complex programming concepts such as ‘iterators’
• 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
  • APIs: The WordPress Version
    • What are APIs?
    • Who uses them?
    • Why do we use them?
    • Do we need to know about them?
    • Where do they fit in with the rest of the Web?
    • We will take a look at APIs within the WordPress environment so we can take a familiar platform, and use it to build an understanding of the world of APIs
• 2:30 pm
  • Wrap-up and setting Goals and Objectives for next week
