I am currently on Week 4 of this course and have learned quite a bit. However, I feel as though the title and description is a bit misleading. The course starts off with a complete introduction for beginners into the history and application of HTML and CSS. However, when you start Javascript in Week 4, I was caught off guard with the first video stating "This module assumes that you have the basic understanding of programming. If you don't know general concepts like variables ... you will have a tough time getting this module. ... I suggest you find and go through a programming basics tutorial first then come back and finish this module."

This is a complete shift from the other modules teaching basic concepts before applying it. A recommended "programming basics tutorial" isn't even linked for us to reference. The description of the course, however, states "we will get a thorough introduction to the most ubiquitous, popular, and incredibly powerful language of the web: Javascript". Nowhere in the description, or even the first few introductory videos of the course, does it say anything about requiring a background in programming. There are recommended books, but if I'm paying for a course, I would prefer to have the education I need within the paid course, and the recommendations would be if I want to take my learning further.

All in all, I am enjoying this course, but I felt this was important to point out, as it felt quite discouraging and misleading.

Good course for beginners. You may need to google and research some things by yourself as he will breeze through it. Week 1 - Setting Up and HTML Setting up is outdated but a Google and YouTube search will give you the latest solution (hence the 4 stars). The HTML lessons are straightforward, and nothing too difficult. Week 2 - CSS and Bootstrap Some CSS lessons were breezed through, such as shorthanded properties. Bootstrap was something new to me and the way he explains it makes it seem like it's easy. Week 3 - Visit the Client and Develop the Website He gave tips on how to communicate with the client. Showed us step by step on how to develop a website. Week 4 & 5 - JavaScript (DOM & AJAX) Out of HTML, CSS and JS; Javascript is not a simple language to understand but he teaches it very well. Overall (TL;DR) - Great for beginners - Easy course to learn HTML, CSS and JS - You may need to have prior knowledge or do some prior research

A great course overall by JHU. I completed and started this course in Autumn 2023 and felt that the majority of the content was still up to date, though there are some lectures and assignments that could be updated. For example, in week 1 the video on how to create a web page on GitHub and save it to your local drive could be re-shot as you had to refer to the FAQs for some of the time and I didn't feel this was practical and it briefly slowed down my progress. The final assignments js code could also be updated, as I struggled with the assignment because of the changes in Heroku since 2015. The course does dive into the fundamentals of these 3 programming languages, and has helped me strengthen my knowledge in this field. I would recommend this course to aspiring software developers as it demonstrates what life in web development would realistically entail.

This course was really great and I have learned so many things that will help me in my career and thanks for this fantastic course, but there are things that I would like to improve such that I dont like the way that some modules follow in which you need to copy and paste code then execute it I prefer the code to be written from the beginning so it doesn't get lost in a bunch of functions and code that you copied and you don't understand how it was written and why it was written and you just understand how it works and what happens when you implement it and that doesn't enhance the concept of programming and the right way to write code.

I think this is an excellent course. The course contains good information on HTML, CSS, & JS.

Yaakov is able to deliver substancial knowledge through thorough details as well as emphasis on important topics and material during the Lecture slides.

The course has not given much time on CSS comparative to HTML and JS.

I think this course could be rated number one if it allocated one extra week to:

- dive deeper into CSS.

- explore more of the nitty gritty of the material in Lectures slides 60 to 63.

Other than that, I very much enjoyed the course even though some of the assignments were quite challenging to complete.

Очень хороший курс.

Освещает основные моменты на которые стоит обратить внимание. Хорошо раскрыты некоторые аспекты, которые упоминаются в литературе, но на их не обращаешь внимание пока не столкнёшся и понимаешь, что всё немного не так. Этот курс помогает понять такие ньюансы.

Так почему же я не поставил ему 5 звёзд? Всё просто - актуальность. Курс всё ещё остаётся актуальным, но многие вещи устарели и приходится иногда поломать голову как выполнить показанное в курсе на более новых версиях используемых инструметов.

Но это очень хороший курс, и я всё же могу его уверенно порекомендовать.

Very good and detailed explanations in the html css part. I liked the quizzes, videos and practical execises a lot. Javascript in Week 4 and 5 was a harder topic and the amoung of knowledge per time increased suddely a lot too. The quizzes were still managable, but not satisfing learning in second half. I will go back to those videos in time but i couldn´t keep up there. Trail and errored the last 2 weeks with lots of pain.

But all in all good first online learning expierience!

Wondering if the technologies are becomeing outdated somewhat.

This is a crash course in 3 different languages that all work together. It was harder than I anticipated not having known any of these languages. There are plenty of supplemental resources given to you that go beyond the scope of the class, but if you are like me, it was a bit over my head. I wish that there were more practice coding assignments along the way--particularly in the JS portion of this course. If you have never coded prior to this course, I recommend taking a fundamentals course before this one because you will struggle.

This is a very beginner-friendly course for those who want to lay their hands in the field of web development. It covers all basic concepts and goes to a little moderate topics. However, I would like to express a little concern regarding the last module . I wish it was a little more descriptive and covered more concepts. Everything else was just fine. It basically covered everything which is required to launch a Single Page Web-Application. The tutor was a very enthusiastic person and I loved the way he taught.

This is a great course overall! The first four modules were well-laid out and explained. My only reason for giving it four stars instead of five is because I thought the last module was way too hard to follow. I got to the final assignment and didn't have the slightest clue on how to even begin even though I watched all the lectures. I think Yaakov tried to cover too much in the final module. Besides that, I learned a lot and feel so much more confident in my web development skills.

A good course for beginners, consisting mainly of following along as the instructor demonstrates code. The assignments are short and largely restricted to modifying supplied code. This is a necessary restriction of the peer-review grading process: the problem must be highly constrained in order for an untrained person to quickly grade it. You could certainly learn a lot by completing extra examples from a book or other resources, but this is not required to pass the course.

It's a 3.2 Star from me. The first 3 courses was ok but then the other 2 courses is not. It went too fast, unclear and out of date. Probably it will be good for you if you were 2016-2018. Not at the moment of 2022-2023. This course said it's on the way updating but if you are watching Bootstrap 3. Stop it right there and find another one. Bootstrap 3 is really really out of date and not really useful anymore. Bootstrap 4 or 5 would need to know right now instead of 3.

A good course! I really had fun with this course. Mr. Chaikin is an excellent speaker and his course is clear, well organized and the videos are of excellent quality. This course could be further extended because the field is very wide. The only downside of this course is that I asked a single question to Mr. Chaikin and this is one of those Mentor who sent me wandering perhaps because he did not know the answer...

I look forward to another course of Mr. Chaikin !

The course content was truly amazing! I enjoyed it a lot. There were many new concepts that I learned, which I think are very necessary to strengthen the basics. Altogether, I would like to thank the professor and his team for such a wonderful course. I would just like to point out that if there could be a conversation possible between the peers who grade the assignment and the peers who are graded, it will be more beneficial. Thanks a lot once again!

The fundamentals seen on this course are fantastic, and Mr. Chaikin is a great instructor. However, I feel like some of the modules are a little outdated (not so bad for Week 3, but Week 5 can be improved) and the last week feels a little rushed. Despite all that, I absolutely recommend this course if you wanna learn the core elements the right way, and if you are open to look things up and learn on your own, as things have changed a little.

Course was very good and content was to the point. Only thing that lacked in this whole coursera was its upload time. Course was outdated, hence problems were faced during course, still, whats the point to reach destination without any hurdles and challenges. After all, a great learning experience and I am looking forward to enroll in more specialization courses offered by coursera.

-Sincerely Thank you to Yaakov Sir, and Coursera platform

The HTML/CSS part of this lecture are really amazing (5 star I would say). I felt that the JS parts were a bit rushed through and probably needed a separate course. I am also working on the side (as a backend engineer) and got the chance to apply whatever I learnt and not rely on our front-end engineer so it was great. Thanks for the course leader and the course providers for my first step towards becoming a full-stack engineer!

I recommend this course for people who want to start their studies as web developers. HTML and CSS are very comprehensive courses and JavaScript is a little bit harder if you're a beginner in this.

The teacher has a really good explanations and he stimulates all the time to keep going.

The meeting between the teacher and the client to implement a web page for a restaurant is very interesting and makes more real the job.
