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

Too basic, the tasks are pretty plain, course just scrapes the surface without giving any understanding of working with JS, the course "HTML,CSS and JS" by D. Rossiter provides a far better understanding.

A bit more HTML than JavaScript and the JavaScript that was discussed was only just barely scratching the surface. Still, I learned things I did not know and got a solid refresher on things I did. Thanks

it needs basic understanding of javascript programming which fortunately i had studied before on my own, for the beginner it could be little harder because we are more focused on DOM manipulation here.

Teacher's narrative is pretty clear, easy to follow. good for beginners.

But the course content is very simple, somewhat too simple for the course title, it only touches on very very basic of javascript.

I think that the Week 2, of this course should have been better explained. The home work for the week 2 is a bit detailed for what was shown for the week 2. Overall, I enjoyed doing the course.

The course was really great and understandable, in my point of view it would have been a bit more challenging, but still a great course, especially thank to Colleen and her great approach!!!

I think the content of this course could have been broken down into smaller chunks and scaffolded in a way that would help learners feel more solid in every step moving forward.

This course is a short introduction to JavaScript. Their is some useful information, that is very very interesting and easy to understand, but it is too little to understand JS.

It is a beautifull course for the beginners it gives you confidence by giving assignments however it could also have been more detailed for the people who want to dive deep.

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

Really basic, it works as an introduction but i would love to get more exercises and go a bit further.

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