    About JavaScript, jQuery, and JSON

    In this course, we'll look at the JavaScript language, and how it supports the Object-Oriented pattern, with a focus on the unique aspect of how JavaScript approaches OO. We'll explore a brief introduction to the jQuery library, which is widely used to do in-browser manipulation of the Document Object Model (DOM) and event handling. You'll also learn more about JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which is commonly used as a syntax to exchange data between code running on the server (i.e. in PHP) and code running in the browser (JavaScript/jQuery).

    It is assumed that learners have already taken the Building Web Applications and Building Database Applications in PHP courses in this specialization.

    bon apprentissage
    brilliant
    The course is good. I applied for financial aid, and I paid 10%. now again to complete the 4th course, it asks for a subscription🤕.
    Assignments Are Buggy!
    I enjoyed every video with Charles, I think that he's a great teacher because explaind the reason to be for each point, and that is helpfull to understand the class, so another hand In this course the topics are slightly scattered with practice.
    I am finished this course, but I don't feel completely satisfied with it: 1. I had a break from the course to study and practice Javascript, Jquery and JSON, including autocomplete, and while I could complete all of the exercises and import W3Schools examples into my own files and make them all work, I could never get the implementations in the assignments to work. 2. I found that I mostly learnt about debugging code and trawling through the walk-throughs for little gems, rather that really learning the topics. 3. I found a number of examples where there appeared to be deliberate mistakes or omissions in the exercises. 4. I found most of the help messages from the forums very difficult to understand and needing a few days to decipher. 5. None of my work was ever peer graded as far as I can tell. 6. One of the things I'd like to do now is to create a database of audio files and pdf files, to be able to be viewed, listened to and downloaded via a website. This course has not covered these topics. 7. I found that the Coursera deadlines were quite unrealistic, and sometimes I needed a small fraction of the time while on other occasions a 3 hour deadline actually took 2 weeks to achieve. 8. Over all I am pleased that I persevered with this course, and I feel that I have learnt a huge amount about the overall world of web coding. I suspect that there is a lot more to learn, and I expect to be studying more as I develop my own projects. 9 Chuck is a wonderful teacher, and a very inspiring personality. I couldn't have done this without him.
    Loved it
    Although the course was on JavaScript & jQuery, the assignments were based on PHP knowledge. Moreover it was copy paste task, the auto-grader makes you to change your own code with the practice code otherwise your code won't pass the test cases, which is a terrible thing.
    good for beginners
    Its very nice but link with php,
