Presented by:	James B. Rush <jrush at world.std.com>

James Rush will be presenting an introduction to JavaScript
Programming.  Among the topics to be illustrated will be client-side
web programming.

This scripting language, developed by Netscape and Sun Microsystems,
is simpler than regular Java.  JavaScript can be used to control web
browser behavior, add dynamically created text to web pages, interact
with users through HTML forms, and even control and interact with
Java applets and Navigator plugins.

Among the topics to be covered:

-> What is JavaScript?
-> What can it do?  Can't it do?
-> Creating and calling functions.
-> Client side form checking vs server side form checking.
-> Image manipulation.

James Rush has been the Polaroid intranet web master for two years 
and was a software developer prior to that.  He has been writing in
Java/javascript for two years and perl for about a year.
