About the Course

This course is the first in a series that will allow you to expand your skills as an Android developer into the world of cross-platform mobile development. This will allow you to use your foundations as an Android developer to build cross-platform mobile applications. The first step in this expansion is learning to program in JavaScript. This will prepare you to learn to use the React library for mobile development. JavaScript is the programming language that powers the modern web. In this course, you will learn the basic concepts of web development with JavaScript. You will work with functions, objects, arrays, variables, data types, the HTML DOM, and much more. You will learn how to use JavaScript and discover interactive possibilities with modern JavaScript technologies. Finally, you will learn about the practice of testing code and how to write a unit test using Jest. This course can be applied to multiple Specializations or Professional Certificates programs. Completing this course will count towards your learning in any of the following programs: • Meta Android Developer Professional Certificate • Meta iOS Developer Professional Certificate By the end of this course you will be able to: • Explain the basic concepts of web development with Javavscript. • Practice using functions, objects, arrays, variables, data types, the HTML DOM, and much more. • Use JavaScript within the React framework • Practice testing code and how to write a unit test using Jest...

I learned a lot! It was an extensive course that takes a good amount of effort. When you come out on the other side, you feel fantastic about what you learned!

Although, I struggled to pass some assignments, and lost motivation, it was worth, because the experience I gained in this course, I have never encountered this before. I am so happy to have finally and successfully finish this course with a good grade. Thanks to my instructors and Coursera for this opportunity!!!

I appreciate the comprehensive content and structure of the course; however, I've encountered a few errors in the module quizzes that require attention. Despite these issues, the overall learning experience has been valuable and engaging.

the material was fine and well presented. there were examples of auto grading problems where the feedback stated both incorrect and correct for a given question. there was also an example where the right answer was not a choice, but i could guess what the auto-grader would prefer, so i got the question 'right' but it really was not correct. i took screen shots documenting these issues, but i do not see where i can provide this to course managers.

Leaving aside the fact that every graded assignment has grading problems, with good answers flagged as incorrect or even questions with all bad answers, poor instructions and formatting problems with spaces, etc ... Content is good and simply explained by the instructor (who btw reads a script)... Please fix those problems ASAP and improve the support experience since it falls short of our expectations as subscribed users.

Decent content, but the quizzes were not made well. I tried to report the 1 min per attempt on Week 3 Quiz, luckily it got updated. Please double-check the questions and choices especially the code blocks which have missing semi-colons or closing brackets. I have this 1 question where I don't get points EVEN IF it says "That's correct..."

The topics covered were interesting, but the assessments need a lot of clean up work, especially the quizzes. This would be a much less frustrating course if the necessary improvements to the assessments are completed.

Tests , which are used to grade assessment of learned skills are flawed forcing user to take them again . This should have been tested before launching a learning program .

Solid course but the quizzes are full of incorrect answers, and I mean more so than any other course I've taken at Coursera.

Tests are too bugged, sometimes they don't even have the right answer listed in the possible solutions

There is surely a wealth of good information in the course but I wasted a ridiculous amount of time having to go through the assignments repeatedly because of the errors and bugs in their grading system. Considering that I'm paying for a course on effective programming, it was immensely frustrating to be given 0 marks for various questions, even when the description would state 'that's correct!'. I would then receive less than the 80% pass mark and have to repeat the whole assignment, having to select random incorrect answers and hope for the best because the correct ones weren't accepted. If you get a mark under 80% 3 times in a row you have to wait 24 hours to try again. What a total joke.

Not a good course, with lots of repeated content, but the worst thing is that the grading system for most of the quices is a disaster, questions marked as wrong but the feedback saying "That's correct!", and a lot of multiple choice questions with the wrong answer selected as correct.

A lot of mistakes in the quizes which makes it tough to pass as you have to guess the right answers they have given, rather than selecting the actual right answer

I did this course only because it is part of the Meta Android Developer Professional Certificate, but I've developed JS apps for at least 6 years. Of course, I thought this would be the easiest course of the certification, but then I started getting bad results in the quizzes. "Everybody makes mistakes", I thought, so I checked the feedback of those quizzes to see what I could learn. To my surprise, I noticed that some of the answers marked as incorrect were obviously correct. "Everybody makes mistakes", I thought again, this time to justify the Meta team. But the problem became recurring and with multiple questions, and in every single quiz (or at least most of them). That was really, really annoying. Given my previous experience working with JS, I could handle all that, but then I thought about people who are new to JS and how confusing this course can be. So, I definitely don't recommend it. The material is really good, but the theoretical quizzes are poorly reviewed

The course has been made poorly. The module quizes are broken (it seems they have been broken for a while and still have not been fixed): sometimes the wrong answer marked as right, sometimes there is no right answer in the list. Also the one missing whitespace in the output in the final programming assignment would make almost all the tests fail. And you'll have it when you will copy and paste the expected output text for console.output() from the task in readme.

The course quizzes are not well maintained by the Meta instructors or moderators. All of my correct answers in the module 2 graded quiz are marked as incorrect even though it is correct and due to which i failed the module. Everyone is complaining about this problem in the discussion forum since last year but still no actions has been taken by the Meta.

The course is quite interesting, but it's discouraging that the assessments are incorrect, marking correct questions as incorrect. This problem has persisted for many months!

Material in the quizzes is inaccurate. Course content is solid but the quizzes are full of bugs.
