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....

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

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.

Decent intro to Javascript. However, I felt it was too short and we didn't really explore the API as much as I would have liked.

Good introduction to JavaScript. Not a true "coding" class, but gives enough information to help start learning. I enjoyed it.

This was tough! But worth it! You'll definitely have some scripting to do with websites so you might as well start here. :)

It's a good course but does not cover the entire JavaScript. It's only covers the basics which I found not sufficient enough.

Professor does a good job in explaining and gives a heads up of the general errors encountered in real life working with js

Homework is way too easy. You need to try to cover all of your lectures with more quizzes or homework. Good course though.

Some concepts were unexplained for Assignments and there was no way a new learner could have naturally come up with them.

Its a bit difficult. I personally faced a real difficulty even when I know bits of programming. Its a whole new concept.

Nice course, gives a good overview about the language. Although I have found their introduction to html and css3 better.

Undeniably good and useful course. But somehow too hard for students with zero experience in JavaScript.

It was very easy and slow for a person who has coding experience. I was looking for more tips and tricks.

Для новичков идеально подойдет. Приятный учитель, хорошо объясняет. Но не хватило практических занятий

There was a little bit less Javascript than I expected. But the course is good intro for beginners.

It didn't give us enough knowledge to cover the final assignment. Need to research a lot online.
