This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
This specialization takes you from beginner to confident JavaScript developer, ready to tackle real-world challenges and coding interviews. You’ll gain hands-on experience using CodeSandbox while mastering programming fundamentals such as variables, data types, functions, and control flow.
Your journey begins with setting up your coding environment and exploring JavaScript basics like loops, operators, and conditionals through interactive projects. You’ll then strengthen your understanding of data structures—arrays and objects—by learning how to manipulate, sort, and traverse them.
The final phase focuses on algorithmic problem-solving with topics like recursion, searching, sorting, and Big O analysis. You’ll apply these skills to solve real interview-style challenges inspired by platforms like LeetCode.
This beginner-friendly specialization is ideal for aspiring developers, career switchers, and coding bootcamp students. By the end, you’ll be able to write efficient JavaScript code, apply core algorithms, and approach coding interviews with confidence.
应用的学习项目
Throughout the specialization, learners complete practical projects that reinforce theoretical lessons with real coding exercises. From building a basic calculator and cloning arrays, to solving interview-style problems like sorting, recursion, and LeetCode-style challenges such as Trapping Rainwater, these hands-on activities ensure learners apply their knowledge to authentic problem-solving scenarios in JavaScript.
