Learn foundational programming concepts (e.g., functions, for loops, conditional statements) and how to solve problems like a programmer. In addition, learn basic web development as you build web pages using HTML, CSS, JavaScript. By the end of the course, will create a web page where others can upload their images and apply image filters that you create. After completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Think critically about how to solve a problem using programming; 2. Write JavaScript programs using functions, for loops, and conditional statements; 3. Use HTML to construct a web page with paragraphs, divs, images, links, and lists; 4. Add styles to a web page with CSS IDs and classes; and 5. Make a web page interactive with JavaScript commands like alert, onClick, onChange, adding input features like an image canvas, button, and slider.

Syllabus

Designing a Web Page with HTML and CSS

In this module, you will learn the basics of HTML and CSS to design a web page. Over the course of the module you will build your first web page!

Algorithms and Programming Concepts

In this module, you’ll explore computational thinking and learn the basics of programming in JavaScript. You’ll practice designing algorithms, work with image processing libraries, and apply programming concepts to solve problems - like creating a green screen effect for images on your web pages.

JavaScript for Web Pages

In this module, you’ll build on your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills to create interactive webpages using event-driven programming. You’ll learn how to connect user actions - like clicking buttons - to dynamic responses, culminating in an interactive green screen image processing tool.

MiniProject: Image Filters on the Web

In this module, you’ll bring together your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills to build a mini-project: a simple website that allows users to upload and filter images. You’ll create basic filters, customize the page with your own styling, and tackle optional challenges to add new filters, display image dimensions, and make your project even more dynamic.

The course gives you introduction-level familiarity with a all the 3 brick-and-mortar website building tools: html, css, javascript. I got to do many projects and created many cool stuffs using Javascript from this course. Great way to begin javascript learning.

Some parts are wonderful...others are extremely frustrating as the lessons and examples do not always truly mirror the assignments. At times, the assignments ask for code that you have not in any way been taught. You do end up teaching yourself, at times.

I was really turned off to the point of exiting this course after watching a video describing green screen technology. It had me cringing so much that I really couldn't take the teachers seriously afterwards. Much of the content here has been over-simplified to the point of ridiculous, and while some of the instructors do a good job of teaching, others just inspire yawns. There are far better courses if you wish to learn programming than this one - look up Dr Chuck for one.

please, whoever reads that, CONSIDER TAKING ANOTHER COURSE, NOT FROM DUKE. it wont make any sense for you to start as a beginner, since the material's explanation is poor and assignments they are giving to you are EXTREMELY UNPROPORTIONAL - at the end you are sitting confused with no motivation questioning eveerything you are doing by trying to force yourself to understand the logic. coursera should definietly reconsider recommending this course for the newbies - for some people, like for me, it was just a waste of time and money

The course was excellent. They explained the basics of HTML and CSS in a simple and clear way. The content was practical and effective, and I liked how I was able to build a website from scratch step by step. The instructor was helpful and explained everything in detail. I recommend any beginner to join and take this course because it really helps you build a strong foundation in web design.

Really bad course for a true beginner (Who never wrote a code before).
The tutors failed to explain certain method and how it worked

Good!

I learned a lot of new things or didn't know exactly. Thank you so much for creating that platform for us for free.

Perfect! I learned a lot of things new or don't know right. Thank you very much for creating that platform for us for free.

Sometimes it seems like the lecturers are talking to middle schoolers and at others to, at least partially, competent programmers.
