About the Course

This course introduces the programming language JavaScript and shows the websites that include the type of interactions students will eventually be able to develop. Learners will understand the importance of how JavaScript was developed and why such history impacts the way JavaScript is currently written and in future releases. Learners will write their first scripts, have their HTML and CSS skills assessed, create variables and arrays and assign values to them. If student’s skills are lacking, resources and recommendations are provided to improve these skills. There is ample opportunity for students to practice these first, core skills....

Easy to follow, good pace, basics are covered.

The professor really knows his stuff and knows how to teach it too. It is the best online Javascript course (or book) I have found so far, and I have tried a number already. I highly recommend it.

I found the course enlightening. It made javaScript more understandable, at least to me that i come from a humanities background.

Huge plus the professors voice. Nothing can enrage you when he speaks, not even forgotten semicolons that break the whole code.

The course is well-organized. In particular, working throughout the challenges (namely DOM and event challenges) help me understand the concepts by heart. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in Computer Science, Web development, etc.

Excellent course. Very easy to follow along with a great instructor who takes the time to explain everything in detail. If you are looking for an introductory course in the fundamentals of JavaScript look no further.

That was a really great course of JavaScript. Everything was super clear and easy to understand. It needs however to already know about html and CSS.

An excellent introduction to Java Script. What I enjoyed most is that very early on in the class were actually applying JS real applications.

Great starting point for beginners who've never done Javascript before. However, some prior HTML and CSS knowledge is needed.
