Using JavaScript, jQuery, and JSON in Django

Django is a Python web framework that encourages fast development and a clean, pragmatic design.

This comprehensive course will introduce you to the JavaScript language, and will show you how it supports Django’s framework.

You’ll take an in-depth look at the JavaScript language and will see how it supports the object-orientated pattern within programming.

You’ll also get insight into the jQuery library; widely used for in-browser manipulation of the Document Object Model (DOM) and event handling, as well as debugging capabilities.

You’ll also learn about the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which is commonly used as a syntax to exchange data between code running on the server (or in Django), and code running in the browser (or in JavaScript or jQuery).

Finally, you’ll continue to develop your classified ads application, adding and incorporating features that make use of JavaScript, JQuery, and JSON.
