In September I run JavaScript workshop for my colleagues in USI program. I think JavaScript is a great tool to design web-based prototypes for all platforms. During the workshop I was focused mostly on how to use JS while designing web pages. It was not just a course of programming language but the workshop was more about what you can do with JS and HTML. But of course I expected from participants basic knowledge of coding like what is variables, functions, events, etc.
During the workshop I explained the samples of code and people tried to make the same things on own laptops. Here is some slides from the workshop
