# Weekly Introduction

While I would normally introduce some slight more advanced topics this week, given the circumstance, I am not going to be doing this.

Instead, I have created some JavaScript screen casts for week 7 and 8. This means we now have a complete set of online tutorials which cover all of the JavaScript content that you need to know for the assessment. I have listed these videos below.

# Week 7 - Introduction to JavaScript

In this tutorial I walk you through creating a basic JavaScript program to that sum's three numbers. This was a in-class practical task for week 7.

# Week 8 - External JavaScript and Programatic Event Listeners

Within this tutorial I walk you through the week 8 task, a guess the number game.

# Week 9 - Form Validation

This tutorial, was delivered as part of last week online lecture. It walks you through how to validate a form. You can use this tutorial as a starting point for a contact form in assessment 2.

# Closing Comments

Remember, for assessment 2, you don't need to have back end infrastructure. So for example, if you were to validate a contact-form to show me that you have some understanding of JavaScript, the content of that form will not be sent to a server and persisted.

Some of you may want to take things a little further. This is more if you like web-dev, and you want to push yourself to learn more. In which case you could look at communicating with an API or using Google Firebase to persist data. However, I want to reiterate, this is not required to pass the assessment.
