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.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INTERACTIVITY WITH JAVASCRIPT
The instructor is simply amazing at teaching the concepts, and even for absolute beginners with basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, this course helps take your web development skills to the next level!
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.
The methods learned throughout this course are useful when manipulating data; however, The videos could improve because a small portion of the videos are sometimes outdated, but totally valuable!
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.
