- Questions / obstacles / problem solving (optional)
- 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)
- Interface interactions can be broken down to three main concerns:
- JavaScript: Interactive Patterns
- 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’
- 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
- Wrap-up and setting Goals and Objectives for next week
