TOP REVIEWS FROM PROGRAMMING WITH JAVASCRIPT

by SNMar 22, 2023

Such a great course to take the first step into. The fact that the teaching method builds from the fundamental really takes this course to another level. Great job meta staffs and coursera!

by YLSep 26, 2022

If you have another programing language experience , it will not be so diffcult. However, the Readme is not so clear in sometimes. Overall, it is a really good course.

by KGDec 15, 2022

Overall best course and the way instructors teach or engaged us is literally well and good every single concept is clear from basic, and assignments are also good for practice. Quality course.

by JLFeb 26, 2023

Great learning for someone that doesn't have enough money to take bootcamps but wanted a systematic learning from a known tech company such as Meta. Thank you for such a great course.

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 Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work.
