JavaScript Plane Bomber Game - DOM practice exercise

This course is perfect to practice and learn more about the Document Object Model, while building a fun interactive game from scratch.  build your own version of this JavaScript game. Step by step lessons with explanations of JavaScript methods and applying logic to create this mini application. 

Its not always fun and games to learn JavaScript, but in this case it can be :)

Source code is included so you can try the code at the end of the lessons to see it in action.  Useful coding concepts and JavaScript methods are covered to get you more familiar with using them and building out customized applications from scratch.

Scope of the course is to introduce you to element manipulation via the DOM.  Content covered relates to effectively creating interactive and dynamic content for web users.  I keep non JavaScript coding to a minimal to focus directly on JavaScript.  This is a fast paced course straight to the point on how to apply JavaScript.
