Introduction to JavaScript -- 70143 -- Fall, 2019
Here, in the changing season from Summer to Fall in Plano, Texas, We, ( ) will be introduced to the basic (vanilla) programming Language -- JavaScript.

HTML 5 -- 77255 -- Summer, 2019
HTML 5 is the Language that forms the content and structure for a rendered HTML file ( *.html ). WE all ( John, Pooja, Brandon, David, Tanya, Florence,Markus,Alex, James, and Nikhaz ) meet on Saturday afternoons to learn about HTML 5 in several ways: (1) actual coding, (2) understanding terms and concepts, (3) wide network understanding how HTML pages are structured and delivered to the client. And other stuff.... Participation on this forum constitutes class attendance. Join the conversation for the times between weekends when we meet. Thanks everyone.

PHP & MySQL -- 77175 -- Summer, 2019
PHP builds websites by constructing several programming constructs together: (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, etc. ). We, Disonya, Jan, Duey, Helen, Travis, Zach, Aashwin, Brandon, Rogers will and learn and share in this forum.

Advanced JavaScript With jQuery-- 77149 -- Summer, 2019
Our class consists of Randi, Aashwin, Sarita, Duey, and Yvonne who met together in the early Summer months of 2019 to learn about this powerful JavaScript Library.

Node JavaScript Basic -- 77148 -- Summer, 2019
NodeJS is JavaScript outside of the web browser; it uses the V8 Chrome JavaScript engine inside a C++ program that is run on the Operating System. It works well with Asynchronous function calls to the OS while maintaining single thread execution which means it's very efficient. This class is a wide survey class into the many terms, theories, syntactical NodeJS modules, and basic support systems that make NodeJS a powerful platform. Our class is composed of the following students: . This is their story during the class.

Introduction to JavaScript -- 75369 -- Summer, 2019
This class was started on a rainy Wednesday, May evening at Collin College in West Plano. We ( ... | ... ) began to learn about this wonderfully simple and well-entrenched programming language. JavaScript is easy and powerful.

Node JavaScript Advanced -- 75559 -- Spring, 2019
We are trying to get a seat at the cool kid's table. Important to becoming a good programmer is the ability to READ code; to accept, understand, and follow the reasoning the syntax takes us; one more time: we follow the code like we might follow a great story by any of a number great English authors. Likewise we learn to read the NodeJS solutions in JavaScript. Hence we become ONE with the code and relax.

Cascading Style Sheets -- 75004 -- Spring, 2019
Rassin, Duey, Sid, Carol, Penny, Luiza, and David enjoyed a class on the inner workings of CSS. CSS directs the presentation and specifications (the glue that holds the HTML and JavaScript together) for a webpage, phone app; anything (mostly) that presents HTML to an output device. Here we tell our story; give advice and respond to other students; and present links of articles, youTube videos, and other sources on our journey.

Angular JavaScript -- 75010 -- Spring, 2019
Here, Helen, Anu, Ryan, Preston, Fabio, Jeremy, Sid, Robert, and Edmund set on the path to learn the complex method of how Angular JavaScript is implemented to program applications. Specifically, we are introduced to NodeJS, Visual Studio Code, TypeScript (ES6 JavaScript) and (most importantly) the MVC design pattern to build web applications. This is a big topic and this course might not make us into Angular JavaScript programmers; yet, it will give us a "high level understanding" to succeed at further "code" lessons that are available on the Web. Lots of theory along with nitty-gritty syntax details will be addressed.

Node JavaScript Basic -- 73135-- Spring, 2019
Here, we few, (Edmund, Fabio, David, Mike, Sid, and Robert), in the Spring of 2019, in an introductory Node JavaScript Class, are going to share LINKS, Lessons Learned, and respond to each other in this Forum. NodeJS is just JavaScript that is driven outside the DOM restrictions or the Web Browser (or, of course, any Responsive functions to a API calls or Apps). NodeJS is not a Language, Framework, nor Library. Rather, it's the environment that drives coding. This course constantly returns to the Theory and Syntax that drives JavaScript. And Classes; we can't forget them -- as they form the basis of TypeScript (which is class based JavaScript). Welcome all. We are here learn about what and "how" Node JavaScript works.

Introduction to JavaScript -- 73129 -- Spring, 2019
Welcome to Siddharth, Mae, Bao-An, Ryan, Sitra, Hoyong, and Janet, who meet Mondays and Wednesdays, (but no class on January 21st ) in January of 2019 at Collin College, the courtyard campus to learn how to READ JavaScript code -- plus we learn some programming. JavaScript forms the basic Language of the web; it's the glue between the HTML and CSS actions that form the Transformation in a browser or API call.

YouTube Projects and Resouces
YouTube requires a skill set that delivers content and processes to build / alter / create / manipulate content in the form of video, audio, script, action, mood, response; combined together to build a community of subscribers and active individuals who are part of this community and offer comments and responses to the published videos. A large task to bring together these many resources.

HTML 5
The 5 in HTML 5 just means the latest structural code that is implemented to define the HTML used to keep up with all the changes on the web worldwide. There will not be an HTML 6 anytime soon. HTML builds the structure and content of a web site.

CSS 3
CSS has grown into a mixed syntax that defines the presentation of a page on the web; it also has grown into the full blown specification for how the DOM (Document Object Model) interacts with the JavaScript functions; this specification has grown very extensive in past few years.

Web Design
Web Design is complicated: UX (user experience), UI (user interface), front-end client work, graphics design, Usability and Accessibility, (where usability is how simple the site is to get things done and accessibility being how persons with disabilities use the site). There is a lot going on with Web Design.

JavaScript Programming
JavaScript controls the behavior of the website as it is presented on the page; it communicates to the DOM, handle server calls, and sets up listeners that keep track of the events produced on the page (clicks, mouse movements, etc. ).

Angular JS, II, IV, and V
Angular made great progress by allowing one-page sites (gotta love the Anchor Tag!); but man-O-man it got very complex fast; large sites became so convoluted and messy. Angular II set the standard that other Angular advancements would support.

PHP Programming
On the server is an open software language that handles the HTTP requests and delivers both the static and dynamic code to be sent out to the client. PHP is super powerful server-side language with the greatest number of sites on the Internet.

Git Hub, Git Lab
More than a version control system; it allows teams to work together and build repositories of code that can be easily updated, shared, and maintained. There's a little bit of a learning curve when actually working with Git; but since it's takeover by Microsoft it's sure to be supported.

Adobe Animate -- JavaScript API and Frameworks -- Flash for the <Canvas> tag
Adobe Animate IDE provides a way to add motion objects into the canvas. These objects can then be controlled by normal JavaScript code. Adobe Animate builds the resulting environment nicely; that is, files are generated that can organize the actual animation that gets outputted to the <canvas> tag -- in real time. Animate also is a nice platform to use Adobe Illustrator files together to mix media files together to build short videos and social media ads.

JavaScript, Web Design, CSS, and HTML Meetup Archive - Notes, Records, Pictures
The Meet-up in the North Dallas / Frisco area has arcives of its past meetings. Meeting notes, pictures, and records (for the little that there are) are referenced. This forum is read only.

JWCH Social Media Links -- Construction Notes and Updates
As an experiment, the management implemented several Social Media connections to test the ability to connect normally dispirit individuals around the North Dallas / Frisco local who are proficient in JavaScript, Web Design, CSS, and HTML. Our purpose was to offer business opportunities and project suggestions to its participants.

JavaScript Programming -- Fall, 2018
JavaScript Programming is the glue that holds together the HTML 5 and the CSS 3. These two technologies have been designed with "hooks" for the JavaScript Framework to connect to and exchange data. JavaScript is a Simple, Easy, straight-forward Language. Although it's original purpose was much simpler than it has grown to be; it is HIGHLY supported with transpilers, frameworks, library plugins, and a HUGE amount of API's. These extra Languages and Frameworks get Transpiled (TypeScript) into good old fashioned JavaScript (vs. ES5).

Angular Framework -- August, 2018
A theoretical and practical survey of advanced concepts and practices in current JavaScript technology using Angular 2, and 4 (like there is a big difference -- not). Angular Framework is a method of implementing Full Stack Development; this class uses the MVC development model to exemplify this (particular) implementation of JavaScript. NodeJS and npm and a bunch of provided compilers (TypeScript => JavaScript) help us understand the code. This course teaching reading code; there are no big projects in this course; the course jumps into the environment the first day. Along the way we spend time reviewing particular JavaScript principles that are needed to understand the code we study. Welcome Travis, Maria, Sumani, Daniel, Yi, and David.

HTML 5 - May 18 to June 22, 2018

CSS -- Oct 19th, 2018 - Collin College -- Friday Evening Class
Here is where Eric, Lu, Ruchi, Preston, Srinivas, Holli, Ruchi, Shilpa, and James come together learn about a very overlooked (complex) web development structure. CSS is a collection of code statements that direct the visual and functional response of a website. It formats and specifies the (magical) transformation that occur in the web browser. Over the past few years it has defined the specifications that direct both the HTML and JavaScript inside this browser; that is, it influences much more than just visually (as it use to). Therefore it's absolutely necessary to understand the syntax of CSS to fully control what gets presented on the web. CSS has a one line, simple, and direct syntax; but, what's inside each of a simple top-level items (there are three of them) control thousands of design choices for your websites.

CSS -- November, 2018 - Collin College -- Monday and Wednesday Morning Class
Helen, Kristi, Jan, Amy, Deborah, and James wake up together in a classroom where we study CSS. CSS is the syntactical language of presenting and building the specification for websites on the Internet. We communicate here in the early morning...

HTML & CSS -- November 3rd, 2018 - Collin College -- Saturday Afternoon Class
