Course Description

Creating websites is a craft. Like any craft, there are a variety of tools. To a new initiate, the tools in the workshop glimmer with potential. They are also overwhelming.

Should you learn Bootstrap, Dreamweaver, Edge Studio, Joomla!, or WordPress? Should you use Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, or Shopify? Should you learn Sublime, Atom, or Webstorm? Should you go into the front-end, the back-end, or both? And what about HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Less, Sass, Grunt, Gulp, NPM, Node.
js, Django, Python, Rails, PHP, Go, React, Angular, Web Components, Polymer, Git, GitHub, JSON, AJAX, UX, UI, AMP, PWA, performance, and jQuery? Where do they fit in?

My name is Todd McLeod and I began creating websites in 1997. I began teaching how to create websites in 2001. I am tenured college faculty in Computer Information Technology at Fresno City College. I have also served as adjunct faculty in Computer Science at California State University Fresno. My experience includes teaching individuals of all ability levels how to create websites: from people with very limited computer experience to graduate students in computer science.

I am a tenured professor in California. I have taught at both the college and university level. I have also taught in multiple disciplines including business, information systems, computer science, and online education. In 1997, I was one of the first professors at the university to teach online. I did post-graduate work in online education at UC San Diego. I co-founded and taught in the Online Teachers Training Program which trained professors how to teach online. In 2008, I was selected as one of the best instructors in the entire California Community College system. Currently, when measured by the number of students served, I am the worlds leading trainer in Googles new programming language which is one of the fastest growing, highest paying programming languages in America. In addition, Ihave started three businesses (two of them profitable, so far). My background in business, information systems, computer science, online education, and real-world entrepreneurship has prepared me to teach all of these courses. I look forward to helping you learn great skills to improve your life. Better skills, better life.

The flow through out the course keeps one engaged. It covers so much in details with really good hands-on exercises to practice topics learnt. And the hands-on exercises does indeed bring to light the concepts learned. All in all it is a very well put together course, probably the best online course in HTML & CSS space.

By John Doe on 11/1/2020

Teacher is very charismatic and knowledgeable, I like the tempo and the style of his lectures

By Christopher Bosel on 10/6/2020

Todd McLeod is an awesome instructor and really makes learning languages fun. More than that, the lessons are thorough and having exercises between each lessons really reinforces it.

By Suhas R on 9/1/2020

Literally this is the Best course for HTML-CSS on the internet i found. The very way you think while programming front end changes with this course. Thanks Todd for offering such a well explained course. I first finished your GoLang then completed GoLang Web dev and i could not look anywhere else for building my frontend fundamentals because of the way you taught in previous courses. Hats off for your "Art of teaching" !
