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

Good course to get started off with JavaScript. Would like a couple of more optional quizzes and assignments so that people who are keen on getting an in-depth knowledge are also benefited. Thank you Colleen for your efforts!

Good. It covers the basics of JavaScript. Easy to follow and complete. Teacher explains the concepts clearly. If you're getting your hands on JavaScript for first time, this course will help you a lot understand the basics.

This course is very good and I have learned the basics of javascript. The classes are not difficult to understand. The assignments help a lot to really get myself to do those things I couldn't do before. Thanks Colleen.

Good course , clear and articulate . Requires some persistence and resourcefulness to explore other information bases in order to learn and for the concepts to sink in - this is a positive for me . Recommended

JavaScript is a bit more complicated than the other courses in the specialization, but I still enjoyed the learning experience. The teacher teaches in a way that is clear, comprehensive and easy to follow.

it was too easy, if you know nothing about coding and something about HTML and CSS then this course is for you.

But I must say that the instructor is very knowledgable and there's helpful material provided

Good course. 1st week is a little fast. The other weeks are much better. It needs to be a longer course though covering many additional topics. Or offer it as additional courses for more JavaScript.

Course is nice but when I submitted the assignment one student gave full mark and other gave zero and I failed even though my code was correct. So I again uploaded same code and I got 100% and passed.

Well explained, I learned some interactivity with HTML by learning native JavaScript (was using jQuery always)... Perhaps I expected some more advanced stuff than this (like audio, video, canvas).

First submission had not been fully explained (i.e. no mention of needing ++) but otherwise course content was good. Colleen is an excellent presenter and I could listen to her all day.

This course covers the part of javascript that is used to interact with DOM. The lectures are clear and lucid in explaining the content. The difficulty level of the assignments is easy.

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.
