Do you realize that the only functionality of a web application that the user directly interacts with is through the web page? Implement it poorly and, to the user, the server-side becomes irrelevant! Today’s user expects a lot out of the web page: it has to load fast, expose the desired service, and be comfortable to view on all devices: from a desktop computers to tablets and mobile phones.

Coding the Static Restaurant Site
Ready for some REAL fun? This module is it! We'll go over some basics of interacting with a client when managing a web site project and then go visit a real client at their place of business (a Chinese restaurant), help the owner figure out what she wants in a site, and get acquainted with the restaurant in general. We'll spend the rest of the module building a real web site for this business from scratch and you'll get to sit next to me and watch as the site comes together.

Introduction to Javascript
What fun would a web site be if there was no functionality to it? In this module, we are going to concentrate on learning the fundamentals of the Javascript language. A lot of even seasoned developers “tinker” with Javascript without really understanding how the language works. That leads to viewing the language as more of a nuisance instead of a powerful tool. That is why we are going to concentrate not only on the “how” but also on the “why”, so you are empowered by the Javascript language features, not confused by them. We’ll cover just about everything - from common language constructs and Javascript types to objects, functions, arrays, closures, and scope isolation.

by SWMar 14, 2016
This was a really great course, i learned so much, and it was really interesting and very well explained. I will be taking any more courses done by Yaakov! Really excellent course, thank you so much.
by JHMay 31, 2019
Very interesting and well presented. It's difficult to address all the different experience levels so some points were (to me) a bit laboured, but overall a useful, informative and enjoyable course.
by NCMar 15, 2018
Excellent course, specially if you are a professional but in different technologies/ languages, from the back-end world, etc... You will progress very fast as it goes right to the essential notions.
by FPJan 13, 2017
Excelent course with an excelent teacher. I just found this course kind of easy comparing to Ruby courses (interoduction, rails and mongodb). It could have more chalanging assignments.\n\n5 stars!!
by DQFeb 19, 2017
I learned very much in this course. I enjoyed each moment studied the content. The teaching methodology is wonderful and teacher is so nice. In general, this course is excellent and I recommend it.
by NMMay 26, 2016
Besides the Course been very good, I thing it could be a little bit harder. After watch the lectures of Module 3, I got sad because the Assignment didn't asked for a lot of things we have learned.
by CSJan 26, 2017
Professor was awesome! Lectures were really good. The only thing that I can think to improve on is some clarity on the explanations but even then that was on point. Enjoyed this course very much!
by HSAug 6, 2016
The course is very informative and useful if you are newly introducing yourself to web development.\n\nAnd the instructor is just awesome! He makes the course very interesting, deserves 5 stars.
by YVSep 28, 2016
Very good course to start in the world of web development, I loved the part where you talk to the customer and note the requirements that will have the site (First time I see a course) is taken.
by AGMar 13, 2020
It is well done but it is very basic. The method is good since we get the basic programs to work with them and follow the lectures. The instructor explains things in a detailed and clear manner.
by SBAug 20, 2016
What a thoroughly informative and enjoyable course! A big shout-out to Prof. Chaikin who explains the concepts in such a brilliant manner. Highly recommend this course to budding web developers.
by QLJan 22, 2018
Very exceptional course with clear and understandable lectures, leading student from nothing through basic levels of web development and finish at making a decent looking website. Worth taking!
