But really old content

It was very clear

I like the pace. it may be a bit slow for some people but I prefer it this way.

I really am liking this course. I highly recommend it. This coming from a 12 year old.

Clear and concise. Simplifying a relatively complex subject.

Ce cours est vraiment unique et se présente comme une passionnante immersion "en accéléré" dans la programmation JavaScript.
Sa grande force est à la fois d'être accessible à un complet débutant en Javascript (car il explique TOUS les concepts de base nécessaires à la compréhension de ce langage), et d'illustrer en permanence ces notions par l'écriture de petites applications autonomes, ancrées dans le mode réel.
Le tout est expliqué dans un anglais parfait, avec rigueur, brio, et de façon extrêmement vivante !!!
En bonus, vous recevez le "petit livre de Javascript", spécialement rédigé par l'auteur, qui est une véritable mine d'or, et vous permet d'approfondir de façon systématique les notions apprises.
Un must !!

Clear and informtive

Concepts are clearly explained and vudeo is very well done with useful zooming and highlighting.

Huw Collingbourne can always be trusted to present the programming information and the concepts in most clear to understand way and with the best possible example. I highly recommend any of this courses here on Udemy.

boring as hell and he's just reading the pre coded script NOT doing anything but talking..i fell asleep everytime..

I have tried taking a JS Course online from a prestigious university on the east coast of the US. I have been unable to finish the final lesson because the class is not well taught. I have learned more about coding and JS in the first 4 lessons of Step 1 in this course than I have in 4 weeks of lessons in the other classes. Thank you for being as clear and complete as you are and for knowing what i, a beginner with JS, needs to know to understand why I am doing what I am doing. For example: I never learned in taking HTML and CSS classes at other online schools that the only visible part of the coding is between the tags. The info between the tags is not visible. You would think that would be an important thing to mention. Thanks again. EH

Great code samples w/easy straightforward teaching style make this series a must have, especially for beginners. Thnx for such a great lesson.
