This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course JavaScript: Enhancing the DOM. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
The Document Object Model (DOM) is at the core of every webpage. In order to develop dynamic HTML pages, a front-end developer needs to understand how JavaScript connects and lets you control the DOM in order to create, modify, delete and edit existing content on a page. In this course, designed for experienced web designers and developers, instructor Maaike van Putten provides an overview of basic DOM elements, the different ways JavaScript gives you access to the elements, and how to work with the DOM to create dynamic webpages.
Learn the fundamental skills required for selecting DOM elements, traversing the DOM, modifying DOM elements, and creating, adding, and managing nodes. Along the way, get tips on event handling, advanced DOM manipulation, accessibility, performance, and best practices. At the end of the course, you’ll get the chance to test out your new skills on a real-world project by building an interactive resume app with a Node.js back end.
See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
When switching from one exercise files branch to the next after making changes to the files, you may get a message like this:
