Responsive Website Development and Design Specialization by University of London (Coursera)
This specialization in Responsive website design and development is offered by University of London. It covers the basics of modern full stack web development, from UX design to front-end coding to custom databases.
There are six comprehensive courses in this specialization with each subsequent course building nicely upon the previous one. In the first course you will learn three key website programming and design languages: HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
The second course focuses on responsive web design concepts along with knowledge of Bootstrap and JavaScript event listeners. In the third course, you’ll learn to implement a reactive, multi-user web application using the meteor.js framework and MongoDB. Fourth course develops more advanced web application programming skills, like advanced Meteor packages, complex MongoDB filters, data validation schemas using SimpleSchema etc.
Fifth course is very unique and covers exciting examples of collaborative, interactive web applications that use various types of media including sound, images and big data. Students are shown how to build sites that provide precisely this functionality, using Meteor.
Last course involves a Capstone project where students create a complete, responsive, multi-user, data-driven website which aims to solve a particular problem.
There are abundant website design and programming assignments, quizzes and practice exercises at the end of each course. Upon completing this specialization, learners will be able to build, test, and deploy a complete, mobile-ready web application from the bottom up using industry standard technologies.
This course is aimed at beginners who have not done any programming before, but works very well even for those who have programming experience in an area other than the web. This course contains a lot of information of interest to those at intermediate and advanced levels.
