F1VW 34: Client Side Scripting for Web Applications

This Unit is designed to introduce candidates to the fundamental concepts of programming using scripting languages. The Unit involves combining both scripts and HTML or XHTML to enable the creation of dynamic client based web pages. It is intended for candidates who already have some understanding of HTML and/or XHTML and the fundamental requirements of creating static web pages.

On completion of the Unit the candidate should be able to:

1. Describe client-side scripting features.

2. Demonstrate the use of programming elements associated with client-side scripting languages.

3. Use client-side scripting elements to implement a web application.

Credit points and level

2 HN credit at SCQF level 8: (8 SCQF credit points at SCQF level 8)

Recommended prior knowledge and skills

Access to this Unit will be at the discretion of the centre. However, it is recommended that candidates have prior basic knowledge in developing simple web pages using HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) and/or XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Mark-up Language) as well as elementary knowledge of computer programming using high level languages. This may be demonstrated by the possession of any relevant NC Unit, such as, Computing: Programming in a High-level language: Fundamentals (SCQF 4) and other suitable HN programming units.
