Je trouve cette formation bonne, et puisque je débute dans la programmation en Java Script , je peux pas vraiment donner une meilleure réponse, car tout ceci m'est nouveau. Mais n'empêche que pour un début je suis plutôt satisfaites. J'aurais aimé des sous-titres de la vidéo en Français a l'avenir svp!!! svp.

I enjoyed the course a lot, but then this is not the first programming language I've learned. The sections build nicely on each other. I thoroughly enjoyed his way of presenting that each section ends with a fully functional piece of code as well as challenge exercises. However, I understand that the target audience are absolute beginners, and I feel that troubleshooting could get them easily frustrated. What I found helpful to use was the debugger command as an additional tool, so as to halt the program and check the content of the variables.

This is a very nice coding course as I know since I am already halfway through. as a 10 year old, this really helped me out on understanding coding languages. after finishing this I would recommend finding a harder programming course, as this is a very good introduction. hopefully this man makes more programming courses in the future that will be harder and will introduce more Coding languages, as I already see he makes coding amazing. I recommend this to everyone who stumbles upon this (unless you're already using it lol).

We are about 35% through this course. I am using it to teach my nieces JavaScript. We do one section a week. The video length is perfect for a 30-1 hr session for us. We watch the video then do the assignment. The assignments are well thought out and easy to follow. We are learning a lot and by only learning one small thing it's fun and we are having great success. So far the assignments have really been engaging and things 12-14 year kids can grab onto and run with. This instructor doesn't talk down or use words he thinks a kid would understand he just explains the concept well. Very well done and thought out course.

i wanted to make a website like the youtubers do so i asked my father. My father said that " it contains a lot of html ". I asked him "what is html" . my father said " do you how to code html" . i said that " i do not know how to do html coding . i always been doing courses in udemy and i told to my father that " we can book a course in udemy " . my father said "yes" me and my father looked for coding classes

By Hayyan Hamchou on 2/6/2021

ich lerne seit sehr lange Programieren aber hier kann ich soooooo schnell Javascript und html lernen ich hätte nie gedacht das man so schnell Programieren lernen kann. Aber das schlechte ist dass ich bei den bonus abschnitten die dokumente nicht finde und ich habe mich so sehr auf dass bonus gefreut. Hayyan Hamchou
