About the Course

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. In this course, we will learn the basic tools that every web page coder needs to know. We will start from the ground up by learning how to implement modern web pages with HTML and CSS. We will then advance to learning how to code our pages such that its components rearrange and resize themselves automatically based on the size of the user’s screen. You’ll be able to code up a web page that will be just as useful on a mobile phone as on a desktop computer. No “pinch and zoom” required! Last but certainly not least, we will get a thorough introduction to the most ubiquitous, popular, and incredibly powerful language of the web: Javascript. Using Javascript, you will be able to build a fully functional web application that utilizes Ajax to expose server-side functionality and data to the end user....

When I started this course I was a beginner in WebDev. After this course I feel that the tools and skills I had the opportunity to get familiarized here gave my the necessary guidelines to pursue a more advance level. Five stars!

Great course. Slightly outdated now, but the way every detail was explained was wonderful. It was better than any instruction I ever received even in college classes. It also put all the pluralsight courses I completed to shame.

I really liked the separate modules for html and css. Everything is told clearly, briefly and everything you need to know. JavaScript was hard to learn without preparation. But thanks to all the material I want to study further!

I already had some programming experience and this was a great course to get the foundations of web development. It's easy to follow, fun and includes some tips for dealing with clients. And those tips were really helpful to me!

This course helped me a lot to understand the basics of web development in a more easier way.

This helped me clear my fundamentals and met me with some new technologies around us.

But, still the course need to be updated as time.

Loved the Course!!

Would have appreciated it if Yaakov had gone slower while teaching the connection with the server using ajax....basically the last two weeks of the course was a bit complex and the explanation was a bit speedy.

I give 5 stars for this as the coverage of HTML and CSS is like teaching for Dummies. JS and Ajax there were little not so easy to follow. But its certainly lot better than many premium courses available on net for HTML and CSS.

Yaakov's approach to the topic is extremely clear and friendly, and yet it hits the right points to make you grasp the important concepts. This course lays very good foundations for web programming and is definitely recommended.

Một khóa học nền tảng cơ bản cho người mới bắt đầu như tôi, khóa học chỉ ra những định nghĩa và thao tác cơ bản về FE Web. Thật tuyệt vì được đồng hành cùng mọi người. Hy vọng sẽ đồng hành cùng mọi người vào khóa học tiếp theo!

Dr. Chaikin goes above and beyond in every way imaginable with this course. So sophisticated, yet so succinct in explaining concepts and demonstrating how to implement them. Teaching of this caliber cannot go unnoticed. Cheers!

Awesome instructor and course structure. However, there are some updates to the Twitter Bootstrap framework that students will need to self-taught and do a little research to get over since the course was first offered in 2016.

Excellent course for starting web developer. I feel that I got solid foundation for learning more advanced front end frameworks. This course also introduced important development tools and good tips for using them effectively.

Excellent course! Really good for busy professionals looking for a refresher on core web development concepts. The first 4 weeks were well paced - however, the final week seemed a bit rushed. But overall, a fantastic course!

Great course! If you’re a complete novice it won’t be easy, be ready to work hard. But it's worth your efforts. A lot of practical and really up-to-date information about web development.

Many thanks to Yaakov and his team!!

Unbelievably in-depth and well structured. I love this man. My only regret was that I believe I bought the recommended text books directly from amazon by mistake, instead of the referral links provided by Professor Yaakov :(

Great course to learn html, css, js and ajax in less than a month. It was very helpful and effective to develop a commercial website. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to develop front end web applications.
