About this Course

This is the fourth and final course in the Computational Thinking with JavaScript specialisation.  It is an added-value unit and entirely builds on what you will have learned in the first three units and enables you to synthesise and develop that knowledge.  The course supports you to develop your own larger application, using a combination of the technologies you have seen already, including HTML, JavaScript and various libraries, while also encouraging you to reach out to incorporate new libraries.  You are taken through the software development process step-by-step, with guidance along the way.  You have plenty of opportunity to interact with your peers on the course, and to review their work at periodic intervals.

About the Computational Thinking with JavaScript Specialization

This Specialization is intended for those with minimal under-the-hood experience of working with computing who want to take the first steps towards a deep understanding of principles and practice of how to solve problems with software technology. Learners will use JavaScript within a web-based framework to generate graphics and analyse data, bringing these together in interactive web applications. Learners will acquire specific self-directed learning skills, enabling them to tackle new problem domains and technologies throughout their work and life.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work.

Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
