Holczer Balazs
My name is Balazs Holczer. I am from Budapest, Hungary. I am qualified as a physicist. At the moment I am working as a simulation engineer at a multinational company. I have been interested in algorithms and data structures and its implementations especially in Java since university. Later on I got acquainted with machine learning techniques, artificial intelligence, numerical methods and recipes such as solving differential equations, linear algebra, interpolation and extrapolation. These things may prove to be very very important in several fields: software engineering, research and development or investment banking. I have a special addiction to quantitative models such as the Black-Scholes model, or the Merton-model.

I really liked the way that it starts with the basics and builds. As someone with no experience in JavaScript, it really showed me that it's not so intimidating as I originally thought.

Yeah, of course.. But he could have shortened his talking and moved on fast.

This course was an exceptional experience. The course content was thoroughly explained and exceptionally well thought out. The instructor did a great job in breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand segments. What I loved most about the course was that it was not just theoretical, but also practical. The instructor made sure to include hands-on exercises that were fun to build and play with. This helped me to understand the concepts better and retain the information for longer. Overall, I would highly recommend this Udemy course to anyone who is looking to improve their skills in the subject matter. The instructor's expertise and teaching style, coupled with the practical exercises, made for an enjoyable and valuable learning experience.

I've bought a lot of courses over the years on Udemy. This one is memorable and is up there with the very best of others I have taken and enjoyed. What's good about it? The projects is fun. A classic space invaders shooter. You'll work on prototypal javascript and this will hopefully demystify some of the language’s ‘magic’ found in modern frameworks and so on. What could be better? 1) I see some people complain about the instructors accent, yes it IS quite a pronounced accent and some words require an adjustment of your ear but you get used to it quick enough. 2) The sample code shown is also on lens longer than the screen (instructor does split screen with browser meaning you can’t always see all of the code, (should add prettier plug and format on paste/save really) 3) When running dev tools on the app he’ll use them in horizontal split mode again meaning you can’t see action on the browser (vertical split would have solved this) 4) small code inefficiencies such as if(booleanVariable == true) instead of concise if(booleanVariable) { …} So there are some presentational issues that cold be polished, however it remains an excellent course and one I highly enjoyed. If the instructor was making a course with more difficult games in a similar vein I would buy the course. A little more post production spit & polish and it would be 5 stars. Will follow instructors other javascript/games output.

In the first half of the course the instructor explained javascript very well from the basics. And in the second half we built a game with that knowledge. I enjoyed the course, thank you Mr Holczer.

Useful, interesting course. I learned a lot about Javascript and in the meantime I was able to build a cool game! That was great!

Instructor's course is excellent. I appreciated his lecture structure and consistency. Other than his Hungarian accent, I thoroughly learned much about JS and game programming. Thank you very much.

The instructor explained everything well and it was enjoyable to make the game. The downloadable code helped me a lot when I got stuck. I suggest everyone to download it to compare at the end of the lectures. Overall I liked the course, it was fun and I learned a lot. I recommend it to everyone who is interested in Javascript and game creation.

Excellent course to learn Javascript and to understand game making concepts. Bonus: the game what we made together during the course looks cool in the end! :)
By GabrielK on 10/13/2019
This was amazing, I really liked that I could learn about JavaScript but also do it in a fun way by making a game. The lectures were clear and easy to understand! Also the downloadable files (containing the code progress to every lecture!) made sure that I can always follow the course easily. Fun times, looking forward for similar courses from the author!
