This course is a natural follow up of HTML5 Coding Essentials and Good Practices. In this course, we continue the exploration of HTML5-based APIs, but also introduce some advanced features related to HTML5, such as Web components, advanced multimedia, audio for music and games, etc.

Like in the first course, you will learn by doing, study the interactive examples and have fun with proposed development projects. One of them will be to create an HTML5 game, so jump in and learn lots!
This course is part of the Front-End Web Developer Professional Certificate Program.

What you'll learn:

  • Advanced multimedia features with the Track and WebAudio APIs
  • HTML5 games techniques
  • Web Components and Service Workers APIs
  • Persistence techniques for data storage including IndexedDB, File upload and download, Drag’n’Drop

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java III: Exceptions, Data Structures, Recursion, and GUIs (edX)

CS: Programming

Learn how to create and use exceptions, data structures, recursion, and graphical user-interfaces (GUIs). This course provides students with the knowledge to handle and even create exceptions to achieve graceful error handling in programs. They will also create and utilize data structures, including lists and files. Students will also learn about recursion and how it can be a useful approach to repetition in a program. Finally, students will learn how to develop basic graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using JavaFX.
