It is really good for beginners and I learnt it with full of joy and fun. Thanks for the course taken by the tutor.

An excellent course. I particularly liked learning about the syntactical differences between JSON and JS objects and seeing AJAX from both the JS and jQuery perspectives. The “parse / stringify” example forced me to think and I learned a lot. The built-in looping technique with “var x” was a revelation. In short, I am very happy to recommend the course. I will definitely be studying with Mr. Svekis again !

I had trouble with settings in brackets as Es lint was not configured. It did not work in same way and was giving trouble reading global variables. I hope this configuration was explained in the course.

Achei o curso bastante confuso e o formato não favorece iniciantes no tema. Não sinto que aprendi tanto quanto poderia no tempo que investi nesse curso. Sugiro rever a estrutura e conteúdo do curso.
