Javascript for Designers

Learn how to work with Javascript to build interactivity into your websites. No previous Javascript knowledge necessary!

Javascript is one of the most-used web languages in the world but its learning curve is relatively steep. Aimed at people who design, this short course will teach you how to work with Javascript in a fun, creative way.

This course, perfect for beginners, is designed to get you up to speed with how Javascript works, how to think about event-driven code (e.g. on click, on scroll, on movement) and generally how to make design effects you'll want to use in your own projects.

You don't need to be a designer to join the course – all we require is a little knowledge of HTML and CSS.

• Learn how modern Javascript (ES6+) works, from variables and strings to arrays and objects
• How to work with browser interactions such as clicks, hovers, mouse movements and scroll events
• Work with smooth animations, transitions and delays to make your design work next-level good
• Add in subtle (or not-so-subtle, it's up to you!) parallax effects to your design work
• Context is everything – make design changes, on the fly, as you scroll up and down the page
• Best of all... you'll learn how to be a better, more confident digital designer
