Very nice course but could be more explainable for section 2, meaning just 2-3 lectures needs to be added like loops examples, switch cases and and others

Generally, a great course. However, a number of videos were imported from another course I guess and the audio quality on those were really awful. I am happy to review my rating if those videos' audio can be fixed.

Course content is good. Atleast trainer can add some description on each line of code, so that will be helpful whenever we reference the code.

By Jordan Barnes on 3/23/2023
I learned a lot about the JavaScript foundations, and even though I've been using JS for 7+ years, I still was able to get something new out of the course. I took it for a refresher. I had learned from Svekis' videos before and thought this course was worth a shot, and I'm glad I did.
