Description
This Specialization is intended for those with minimal under-the-hood experience of working with computing who want to take the first steps towards a deep understanding of principles and practice of how to solve problems with software technology. Learners will use JavaScript within a web-based framework to generate graphics and analyse data, bringing these together in interactive web applications. Learners will acquire specific self-directed learning skills, enabling them to tackle new problem domains and technologies throughout their work and life.
The course uses a hands-on approach with learning driven by a range of programming exercises, from small, scaffolded coding practice up to open-ended programming projects of the learner’s choice.The context is JavaScript programming, first within a hosted beginner-friendly environment within the Coursera platform, progressing to industry-level development tools appropriate for creating interactive web-based applications.
