Overview

Do you realize that the only functionality of a web application that the user directly interacts with is through the web page? Implement it poorly and, to the user, the server-side becomes irrelevant! Today’s user expects a lot out of the web page: it has to load fast, expose the desired service, and be comfortable to view on all devices: from a desktop computers to tablets and mobile phones. In this course, we will learn the basic tools that every web page coder needs to know. We will start from the ground up by learning how to implement modern web pages with HTML and CSS. We will then advance to learning how to code our pages such that its components rearrange and resize themselves automatically based on the size of the user’s screen. You’ll be able to code up a web page that will be just as useful on a mobile phone as on a desktop computer. No “pinch and zoom” required! Last but certainly not least, we will get a thorough introduction to the most ubiquitous, popular, and incredibly powerful language of the web: Javascript. Using Javascript, you will be able to build a fully functional web application that utilizes Ajax to expose server-side functionality and data to the end user.

Syllabus

Introduction to HTML5

In this course we will learn the basics of HTML5. We'll start with instructional videos on how to set up your development environment, go over HTML5 basics like valid document structure, which elements can be included inside other elements and which can not, discuss the meaning and usefulness of HTML5 semantic tags, and go over essential HTML5 tags.

This was the 4th course I've completed with certification in Coursera and 3rd in Ruby on Rails Web Development Specialization and I can certainly say that for me it was the best of them!
It is very well organized, has an EXCELLENT professor, includes an introduction (and usage) of twitter bootstrap, applies learning material into a real-world website!
The only negative thing I have to say is related to the 5th week on AJAX...
Although the professor had informed us in the first lecture of the module that it was gonna be just an intro and the goal of the module was for us to just have a sense of it (and it actually had ,for this purpose I guess, an easy assignment), I couldn't follow him during the lectures and I found many times myself lost in the code...

The rest of the course was absolutely great!
5 bright stars!

I've also completed in the past Interactivity with Javascript from the University of Michigan, and I can say that even though that one was also a great intro into JS, with many examples, good professor, etc, I found the Javascript meterial on THIS ONE way better as it is closer to...the real world!

The course curricul…

The course curriculum was well-structured and comprehensive. Starting with the fundamentals and gradually progressing to advanced topics, it provided a solid foundation for understanding the intricacies of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The balance between theory and practical exercises allowed me to apply the concepts learned and reinforced my understanding through hands-on experience. The numerous coding assignments and projects challenged me to think creatively and independently, which was instrumental in honing my skills.

The course material provided was of high quality and served as an invaluable resource throughout the duration of the course. The clear and concise explanations, supplemented with relevant examples and code snippets, made it easier to grasp the concepts and apply them in real-world scenarios. I particularly appreciated the inclusion of supplementary resources and recommended readings, which allowed me to delve deeper into specific topics and expand my knowledge beyond the scope of the course.

Furthermore, the online learning platform used for the course was user-friendly and intuitive. The availability of recorded lectures and tutorials allowed me to review the content at my own pace, which was immensely beneficial for reinforcing my understanding of certain concepts. The platform's discussion forum provided a supportive environment where I could interact with fellow learners, exchange ideas, and seek assistance when faced with challenges.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript course I undertook with your organization. The knowledge and skills I gained have equipped me to create dynamic and engaging web applications. I feel confident in my

I would rate this course **8.5/10**. The content was comprehensive and well-structured, covering everything from basic web development (HTML, CSS) to more advanced concepts like e-commerce website integration. The practical exercises were especially helpful, allowing me to apply the theory to real-world projects, like building an online store. The instructor’s delivery was mostly clear, though sometimes fast-paced in the advanced sections. Support was responsive, but the community could have been more interactive. Overall, the course provided great value for the price, offering both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for aspiring web developers and entrepreneurs. Highly recommended!

So far one of the best courses on the topic of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Great instructor, very good design and structure. Some concepts (especially on the topic of CSS) were presented in really great detail, even a somewhat experienced web developer might learn something new.
However, I am not sure why this is labelled as being part of the Ruby specialisation since it has nothing to do with Ruby.

This is a well structured course and the instructor is so brilliant. I love watching him explain things with simple examples to comprehend. I think the course is more suitable for intermediate Javascript learners. Nonetheless, beginners can also take it.

Well structured course with good examples. The module assignments are also very important. The instructor explains almost everything in detail and I'm really understanding CSS and how to implement in a real world website.

The course is just awesome, Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to enter or is currently into Web development. There are many tricks and tips offered by the instructor. The quality of the course is top-notch. Just as the professor says, the students would be able to understand the "why" part of "what" after completing the course.

This class was excellent--where have you been all my life? The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and articulate. This was the first time I have taken a class in a remote format, and I was delighted with it and look forward to coming back to ONLC for more classes in the future. I loved the fact that even though I was in a class with other people, the actual physical space was private and quiet and very conducive to learning! Thank you.
