| | Thomas Jackson | I am proficient at web development, but dysfunctional when it comes to teaching ))) I have no patience when it comes to explaining things. So it was Practicum that I chose for teaching the basics of web development to my eager-to-code 11-year old. I thought he'd play around with a free introduction part and get bored with having to submit more assignments on top of his regular school homework. But I was wrong! He got so into it that my wife and I ended up buying him the full course for Christmas. We are currently witnessing him clawing through it ahead of time on his winter break. Can’t wait to discover what he'll end up publishing for the world to see :D
On a serious note, from what I saw, this course is designed as a great introduction to the world of web development. No matter how little experience and knowledge one has. Be that your little nerd or yourself who wants to learn, the training is equally good. |
| | Stanley Hall | Excellent training to get a grip on front end development. I loved the way they make you start working on the real projects from week 1 (btw, the first week of the course is free). The assignments get harder as you progress. But it actually helps you focus more on the practical aspects of learning rather than getting stuck in watching the tutorial videos. You learn – you apply. All the concepts were clear. I personally needed more time to play around with Git and Webpack (maybe it's just me). But still, overall, this course is really good compared to some of the free tutorials I was referring to in the past. It gave me a properly structured knowledge about developing and publishing websites. Now I have a portfolio of practical projects and am currently building my resume.
If you choose to complete this course, my advice is to keep practicing coding every day after you're done, until you find a job. Obviously, if that's the scope and you weren't learning just for fun. |
