Join Turing School of Software & Design for a beginner level, Try Coding Workshop primarily using the JavaScript programming language. This quick workshop is for anyone interested in learning more about coding but hasn’t spent too much time exploring software development.

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is the programming language that allows developers to build complex features on web pages. Anytime a web page does more than display static information—animated graphics, interactive maps, displaying live content updates—that’s JavaScript at work! It’s also one of the most popular programming languages in the world.

Workshop Overview

This is a fast-paced, beginner-level course in Front-End Engineering. Front-End Software Developers focus on the user experience and visual interface of a website or application and commonly use Javascript. You’ll get a taste of what a Front-End Developer does and collaborate with the instructor and other participants to build an interactive FAQ web page. You can expect to gain exposure to HTML and CSS, as well as write JavaScript to build an engaging and dynamic web page that you can share with friends and family!
