Programming and the Web for Beginners

In this course, you will use computers to creatively design web pages using HTML and CSS. You will then use Javascript to develop programs and algorithms—ways to get the computer to solve problems. As you progress, you will master the programming process that will be used through the remainder of the courses in this Specialization. After completing this course you will be able to: 1. Make a web page with HTML and CSS; 2. Explain the high-level process of developing a program; 3. Think critically about how to solve a problem; 4. Solve programming problems with Javascript, including if/else and looping constructs; 5. Use Javascript to manipulate images and process data; and 6. Recognize debugging as an application of the scientific method. By the end of this course, you will complete a mini-project where you will use Javascript to create your own images algorithmically and a website you have built with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
