- The lecturer was really carefully to make the course as user friendly as possible. - video lectures are easy to follow - slides are shared - there are plenty of practice exercises called labs, that are easy to complete on the grounds of the lectures - the lecturer set up a [bit.io](https://bit.io/) database for the course. Most of the lab exercises are done on [this](https://bit.io/alanparadise/nw) database. For the final lab there is a [new](https://bit.io/alanparadise/cm) database, and for those labs that do not work on the lecturer's database detailed instructions are given about how the student can to set up and use her/his own database.

I signed up for this course to learn a few JavaScript basics, and it exceeded my expectations! Bill Mead is an outstanding instructor who makes complex topics easy to understand. His engaging, step-by-step approach kept me involved throughout. I appreciated the hands-on experience of working alongside him in my own IDE, and the abundance of exercises really reinforced what I learned. The real-time debugging was an added bonus—watching him fix coding errors as they arose showed that even seasoned developers can make simple mistakes.

By far the best JavaScript course for beginners. I have never coded in JS before but I found this course to be extremely informative. William has done a superb job of explaining the syntax of the language as well detailed explanation of how JS works behind the scenes. The course is really transparent so everyone can follow it easily. The final projects were really helpful in applying all the topics learned during the course. I am very happy with this course.

I really appreciate the form and flow of the content of this course. The steps in the course take you through relatively complex ideas about JS( for begginers like myself) and make thems easy to understand by building on the previous examples. Showing how JS works with examples brought a sense of accomplisment and purpose to the lessons. Look forward to taking the next course where we are on to JQuery and building on this knowledge! Thank you!

The course is really interesting and the teacher is very good too. You can learn a lot without too much stress and struggling. I suggest for those who wants to try this, to take your time to study it, to make excercises on your own and the look for the solutions. I reccomand this basic course if you want to learn JavaScript since the beginning. Five stars.

I felt the course was an excellent introduction to JavaScript. The videos provided a clear depiction of key JavaScript concepts. Thanks to all of the examples, the challenges, and self-generated exercises (recommended by Prof. Mead), I feel I have a good on which to base learning the material of the remaining three courses.

Great course! William Mead lays down a lot of concepts in a way that makes it very easy to pick them up! I appreciate him taking the time to make this course very much! You will not regret taking the course if you are on track to becoming a web developer, this I assure you.

I found the course enlightening. It made javaScript more understandable, at least to me that i come from a humanities background.

Huge plus the professors voice. Nothing can enrage you when he speaks, not even forgotten semicolons that break the whole code.

The course is well-organized. In particular, working throughout the challenges (namely DOM and event challenges) help me understand the concepts by heart. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in Computer Science, Web development, etc.

Excellent course. Very easy to follow along with a great instructor who takes the time to explain everything in detail. If you are looking for an introductory course in the fundamentals of JavaScript look no further.

Have done other JavaScript script courses but didn't understand JS until i did this course now i can manipulate HTML document with JS, I am certainly going to register for the other in this pecialization

The professor really knows his stuff and knows how to teach it too. It is the best online Javascript course (or book) I have found so far, and I have tried a number already. I highly recommend it.

I struggled trying to learn JS on multiple platforms and couldn't understand the language nor its logic.

This course saved the day !

Easy to follow, good pace, basics are covered.

THANK YOU !

this professor is amazing. He explains everything coherently and approaches everything calmly. His pacing is perfect to actually retain new information so that you can keep building it.

hello, I have completed the course with hard work and success. i learned by working 6-7 hours a day. but I couldn't get my certificate because there was a problem with my budget.

It is one of the best course about javascript on coursera. If you really want to learn javascript, this is the course for you. I am sure you will not regret buying this. Thanks

The lessons were easy to follow, I was able to do understand all the lessons that were going on, and the additional resources and accompanying files made things so much easier.

Очень хорошая подача материала, постоянная практика сильно помогает, плюс практические задания весьма интересные и предоставляют свободу действий. Сбалансированный курс.

That was a really great course of JavaScript. Everything was super clear and easy to understand. It needs however to already know about html and CSS.

Really good course with a lot of information. This course is really recommended for beginners and for those who want to learn javascript language.

An excellent introduction to Java Script. What I enjoyed most is that very early on in the class were actually applying JS real applications.

Great course and an excellent teacher. Very informative course and good explanations of what JavaScript is and how to use it in web development.

بنسبه لي انا يس محمد عبدو التعلم برمجه لبيس مجرد تصبح مبرمج ولكن ان تكون عملك المباشر افضل بكتير / كورسيرا افضل موقع لتعليم المنهي 2023م

it's all good until the week number 4 on the last project. A bunch of new concepts were thrown in and i didn't know what was going on

Simply delightful. The practical, smart, well-paced learning experience delivered by an instructor who deeply cares about his craft.
