Specialization - 3 course series

In this specialization, you will experience what it is to go from idea to code. These courses are specifically created for the manager, designer, or entrepreneur who is an active, hands-on collaborator with developers. By the end of the program, you will be able to build working software using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. More important, you will build your creative confidence (and competency!) on engaging in digital projects.

Applied Learning Project

Over the three courses in the specialization, you'll design and build a functioning web application using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. More important, you'll be working from a design brief and exploring the process of going from idea to design to code, including peer reviews.
