SYS-ED’s Client-side Scripting training program teaches hybrid combinations of website content development and scripting in commercial and open source
web server software environments; the comprehensive base program duration is 25 days / 5 weeks. Based upon the background and experience of their employees, client organizations
can elect to streamline the program and have the program taught over non consecutive weeks.
For organizations that have employees experienced in developing and managing web content, HTML5 and JavaScript programming courses can be substituted for a base program component course such as Dreamweaver: Website Development or XML - Introduction. At the client discretion, the software, examples, and exercises in a program can be presented in conjunction with an upgrade of
a website content, web app project, or roll-out of new software. It also can be used to evaluate and integrate hybrid combinations of commercial and open source software. The assumption is that business professionals and webmaster attending the program will be experienced with
computer applications and networking software. Previous coding and debugging scripts is recommended.
SYS-ED's training programs utilize the full complement of delivery medium: distance-learning, web-based, and technology driven classrooms. As part of conducting a training program, subject matter is organized for utilization in courseware as a learning center. In order to accommodate employee workloads and staff in remote geographic locations,
component courses can be scheduled over non consecutive weeks utilizing a combination of classroom training and distance-learning. At the client's discretion, checklist of completed tasks,validation assessment, and a final examination can be utilized.
As part of qualifying a training program for a prospective client, project specifications and sample code will be demonstrated and prototyped on SYS-ED software specific websites.
