It all started with an idea. I wanted freedom... badly. Freedom from work, freedom from boredom, and, most of all, the freedom to choose. This simple idea grew to define me; it made me become an entrepreneur.
As I strived to gain freedom, overtime I realized that with everything that you do you can either (1) convince someone, somehow, to do it with you or (2) figure out how to do it yourself.
Due to a lack of financial resources (and probably the ability to convince people to do high quality work for free), I decided to learn. Then learn some more. Then some more. My path of learning website design started a long time ago. And yes, it was out of need not desire. I believed I needed a website for a company that I started. So I learned how to do it. The company died, my skills lived on... and got better and better.
It took me a while after learning web design (html/css) to actually start learning programming (web application, storing "data", user logins, etc). I tinkered with Wordpress, believing it could be a "user" site, but I was mistaken. Sure there are/were hacks for that, but they were hacks/work-arounds and simply not-what-wordpress-was-indended-to-be. Wordpress is for blogs/content. Plain and simple.
I wanted more. I had a web application idea that I thought would change the way restaurants hire their service staff. I tested it with my basic html/css skills, had great initial results, and found a technical (pr

One of the worst courses I've ever passed. I've really suffered through it.
Pros:
1. Thorough in terms of the number of topics.
2. A lot of practice.
Cons:
1. If you aren't a professional developer (it look like the author isn't), the author will "teach" you a lot of bad practices: programming without an IDE and debugger, "navigating" the code base by googling, coding without style guides or even basic PEP8 conformance, using print() instead of logging and debugging, forgetting about security, ignoring basic OOP concepts, etc.
2. Extremely erratic. It looks like there isn't any script; often, the author would remember or try something on the fly. Sometimes he'd stuck trying...
3. Very outdated.
4. The author demonstrates poor knowledge of OOP, Python, Operating Systems, and Databases. He shadows top level and built-in variables, his method signatures don't match the parent ones, he capitalizes the names of local variables, forgets to call super(), etc.
5. The curriculum mostly matches the official documentation -- there's a little novelty.
6. Very poor coverage of ORM-related concepts: no advanced queries, no select_related/prefetch_related optimizations, no insights into Django Migrations and squashing techniques, no comparison of ORM-based features with plain DDL. For example, he doesn't mention that features like "unique_together=True" don't add any DDL-level constraints.
7. This isn't an advanced course that I've expected. I wouldn't call it intermediate too.

The expectations have been set VERY clearly and I am really excited to learn about the core concepts so that I understand exactly what I am doing when writing code and the best way of writing code.

Content seems good, pace is far too fast, way too much context switching, talks too fast. Running the video at slower speed is terrible, you can only really speed up videos

Not explained in a clear way.

By Abhishek Dubey on 5/12/2020

I am just started and as he teaches, it's really amazing.
Thank You Justin

I really like that Justin explains why something does what it does and I find it helpful to understand the context. He goes super-fast, so I frequently have to rewind if my mind wanders even for a few seconds. But I enjoy the fast pace and the course has enhanced my knowledge of Django.
