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

Very very basic....needed lots of outside referencing to complete. Needs more material about parsing, semantics and syntactically correct language.

good basic course, seems to rush through things a little bit and a lot further reading/ study is needed to fully understand JavaScript.

There were quite a few typos during this course that made the learning process slightly more difficult than it should have been.

It was really basic (but 4 weeks - it`s really short period of time for such topic). I think HTML5 and CSS3 courses were better.

Class room study is good. More functionality of javascript along with intense programming examples could have implemented .

Very good for course for beginners in javascript. You need to have some familiarity though with programming in general.

It was easier for me to follow the lectures and code at the same time when I was doing the HTML and CSS3 courses.

I wish I could have learned more and there could have been more "code together" videos from the beginning.

The course is good, but some gaps of information in the middle of the course. It could be better organized

the instructor talks too much. if she talks less and makes the video shorter, that would be better

You should make a course with much more concept as it was just telling about the surface of js

The last assignment could have been a recap of all the things we learnt in javascript.

Ok for beginners but not enough details. There should be more topic and explanations.
