Web Applications for Everybody Specialization

The Web Applications for Everybody Specialization, offered by the University of Michigan on Coursera, is an intermediate-level, four-course program designed to guide learners from foundational web concepts to fully functional, database-driven web applications. Taught by renowned instructor Charles Severance, the program builds on basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge and introduces PHP and MySQL for backend development. Throughout the specialization, students create progressively complex web projects—learning to install development environments, design relational databases, manage server-side logic, implement CRUD operations, and use JavaScript libraries like jQuery and JSON to enhance interactivity. With a total commitment of around 80 hours (typically 2 weeks per course at 10 hours each), participants emerge with a strong portfolio of dynamic web apps and a shareable University of Michigan credential—ideal preparation for entry-level roles in web development or further full-stack studies.
