About the Course

Want to take the first steps to become a Web Developer? This course will help you discover the languages, frameworks, and tools you will need to create interactive and engaging websites right from the beginning. You’ll begin by understanding the roles of front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers and how they collaborate, along with the terminology and skills essential for a web development career. Next, you’ll dive deep into HTML5—learning about structural elements like section, article, header, footer, and form controls such as input, fieldset, and legend. You’ll also explore the Document Object Model (DOM), scripting basics, and browser compatibility. Moving on to CSS, you’ll learn how to style and format web pages using selectors, IDs, and classes. You’ll explore layout tools like Flexbox and gain hands-on experience with responsive design using frameworks such as Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap. In JavaScript, you'll learn about variables, control structures, functions, prototypes, and how to interact with the DOM, along with practical experience using APIs and client-side scripting techniques to enhance user interaction. By learning the fundamentals of HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, you will be able to combine them to: - Create the basic structure of a website - Create format and layout for web applications - Enhance your website and create rich, interactive applications - Increase user interactivity and enhance user experience - Give your website a real wow factor! Throughout the course, you'll apply your learning through numerous hands-on labs and conclude with a final project where you'll build a webpage to showcase your skills and strengthen your portfolio....

The course is fine, however I was disappointed with many of the assignment submissions to review. It seems that Coursera is treated by many as a certificate mill, and I fear that and certificates from Coursera may lose value because of this. In a course that is part of an AI sprcialisation surely Coursera could review their own submissions using AI and filter out those that are nonsense in order to preserve the value of their offering.

The course is useful. The survey page, after logging in, repeatedly pops up and make unable to go to my course. This survey page pops up repeatedly even after I filled all once. It pops up again whenever I log in and made me very uncomfortable to get into my course. I have no way to caontact Coursera human Teah Team to solve this issue.

I discovered a few new insights I hadn’t come across before, despite already having considerable knowledge and previous experience. The final evaluation from other course participants could have been more controlled and the submitted photos could have been better viewed (opened in a new window or zoomed in).

This course provides a clear exposition of fundamental web technologies that even experienced developers will find useful. The JavaScript module is particularly good: it contains a clear and insightful explanation of the Document Object Model API.

In overall 4+. The final assignment should provide only rudimentary template (not almost finished) and involve more coding from the students. However earlier sections do just this, but still, there remains a small dissatisfaction ;)

Not enough practice exercises for developing websites. The course would be much better and more knowledgeable if it is backed by tons of practice exercises(ungraded labs) tasking the learner with making the webpages.

Great course. Exercises could be more challenging though. Too many times it is just a copy/waste of a bit of code given in the instructions or just modifying some text, for example the final project.

Some parts of the modules feel like there is information missing, or you should know more than you actually do. Otherwise very good and informative course.

Overall good course and learned a lot. Some of the video explanations could have been a bit more simplified, but the study documentation made up for it..

Good material, but the JavaScript section is a little outdated. With ES6 let and const are now preferred over var.

JavaScript portion could be improved by adding more examples on implementing javascript on webpages

A lot of wordy theory and slides, but it all works towards a very nice final project

Seems to be well designed, covering a lot of ground for an introductory course.

This course has lots of information but it is very general. It is not detailed enough for a complete beginner to understand what each part of a code stands for, or what a particular method is for, or why using one method but not the other when both could work (I had to try out myself to figure out that actually, both could be used). The HTML and CSS are less complicated and I could review the videos and labs repeatedly to figure out most things myself. However, JS is very complex and you really have to understand the very basic before learning the videos. It took me 30 mins to learn and understand what a 5 mins video is talking about as I had to constantly Googling. But that's fine, that's the journey of learning. However, what confused me so much and made me feel that I've actually learned nothing is the lab practice. When a method is used, there is very little explanation of why. Why use const instead var out of a sudden, is a particular phrase a specific function or it is customised wording for the writer to refer to, why use a name that has not been mentioned and it could work, I had no clue. I had to Google the elements to understand what they meant but I still didn't know why it was used in the lab. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at JS and unable to proceed to the next course.
