This course builds on the skills from the previous course and goes further into managing and manipulating data with JavaScript. You will learn methods for validating and handling data provided by users or coming from an external data source. This course includes a challenge in the form of a seat reservation system, as well as a project that pulls data in from an external data source.
The course objectives include validation basics in JavaScript and jQuery; jQuery form validation plugin features; arrow functions; asynchronous functions; and the JavaScript event loop.
In this module, you will be able to review and create HTML form elements, in preparation for doing form validation. You will be introduced to basic form validation and be able to discuss the differences between server side and client side validation, as well as the purpose of each type. You will be able to explore some of the advanced features available in the jQuery validation plugin, and take full control of the way information is presented to users.
