This third course in the Computational Thinking with JavaScript specialization applies your developing JavaScript skills learned in the first two courses to the world of the web. You will learn how HTML and JavaScript together support the web pages with which we are so familiar, and develop skills so that you can create your own. As well as text presentation, at the heart of HTML, you will learn how to develop interactive, animated graphics, using JavaScript to dynamically add, remove and adjust the HTML objects on the screen. Furthermore, you will leave the more sheltered Coursera programming environment, working with external programming environments, and learning how to use new libraries. Through this practice with new application areas and new building blocks, we build on the computational thinking frameworks introduced in the earlier courses, focusing particularly on the challenges of maintaining a consistent understanding of the multiple computational representations required to master programming.

Frequently asked questions
This is the third course in the Computational Thinking with JavaScript specialisation. If you have no prior programming experience, then you should take the first two courses in the specialisation before taking this one.
Because it is so hard to quantify "programming experience", it is hard to answer this question. If you have undertaken some programming before, and know that you can solve at least small programming challenges using simple imperative constructs, like variables, expressions, loops and so on, but you would like to learn about HTML and JavaScript, then you may be able to jump directly into this course. However, we would recommend that you take the early two courses if you are unsure, in order to be confident about your skill development.
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
