About the Course

If you want to take your website to the next level, the ability to incorporate interactivity is a must. But adding some of these types of capabilities requires a stronger programming language than HTML5 or CSS3, and JavaScript can provide just what you need. With just a basic understanding of the language, you can create a page that will react to common events such as page loads, mouse clicks & movements, and even keyboard input. This course will introduce you to the basics of the JavaScript language. We will cover concepts such as variables, looping, functions, and even a little bit about debugging tools. You will understand how the Document Object Model (DOM) is used by JavaScript to identify and modify specific parts of your page. After the course, learners will be able to react to DOM Events and dynamically alter the contents and style of their page. The class will culminate in a final project - the creation of an interactive HTML5 form that accepts and verifies input. This can be completed as the third or fourth course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization....

An excellent course, my JavaScript has improved greatly since I completed the requirements. Colleen is a fantastic teacher, I found the lectures to be highly informative and the assignments good fun.

I was glad to find a course that focused simply on the basics of Javascript. So many courses cover the three HTML, CSS, and JS, but don't give enough to really start working with Javascrip.

Thanks

The course materials are good and give you an idea about html, css and js. The downside is the presenter attitude towards the students presenting like she is talking to 4th graders.

Another excellent course taught by Colleen. This time I'll give only four stars because I didn't enjoy the last week of the course. But besides that, it was a very good course.

As the instructor rightly mentions - the course is just the first step and still leaves you at the "noob" level. It'd be great if there is a follow-up course that digs deeper.

A fine course for Java Script. I would recommend having a firm grasp of Css and HTML as well as some beginning javascript before this course as the beginning is a bit rocky.

I found this course really great, as the other ones from this "pack". But maybe a little more explanations are needed to understand in depth the very basics of Javascript.

Was hoping for a little bit more than what was offered. However, the course was well put together and I would definitely take a course from this instructor again.

El final fue bastante confuso, veniamos hablando de javascript y de un momento a otro volvimos a hablar de html. Salvando la ultima semana fue un gran curso

There's a lot of usefull knowledge, but it's really hard for someone who've never done this before. I recommend combining this course with Codecademy (free).

This course was refreshing as I was always found JS kind of daunting. I found that I really enjoy programming and I will continue to study and practise...

Easy to learn and catch up for those with a computer science background, informative and useful for those who don't have much of programming experience.

Could you please also provide files for coding assignments which we could download and run locally? It should link file names correctly. Thank you!

More practical assignments are needed. Course comprises of 4 weeks of training but two weeks have quiz to complete and no practical assignment.

Algo difícil, pero así se comienza, las tareas son la contra porque utilizas una forma diferente de lo que se aprende en los videos ofrecidos.

Don't explain how different between property and attribute when we do with JS to change HTLM form ( setattribute('value'..) and element.value)

Good course for beginner, but for those who has experience in programming, the materials covered by this course may too easy and not enough.

Not an advanced course, but a good going for any beginner into the world of JavaScript. Course teacher was very good at explaining things.

it is a basic class for javascript learner, also provided with HTML basics. Good for people have little knowledge about web programming.

This course covers only a very few topics in JS. To be good at JS apart from this , you must go for a individual JS tutorial in depth.

It's good basic course, but I think they should add more materials to be appropriate to the University which is offering this course.

Quite good to start in javascript. I consider this course was fairly easy, but still it has excellent content and is well-structured.

I feel there were some concepts that could've used a couple more examples, but other than that, great content and a great instructor!

This was a good introductory course. It was confusing at times to follow. Maybe one or two more lectures about functions would help.

A nice overview, but may be too much basics were provided rather than some indepth knowledge of more complex parts of javascript.
