Finally, this project is a lot of fun and I know you'll have a great time implementing your own unique ideas as well as the ones we implement together. What are you waiting for? *You don't need any experience to take this course, however a basic understanding of HTML would be great.

Clear, simple but very effective ways to make a portfolio website.

By Vinh Nguyen on 11/7/2020

I like this course because it is simple and to the point. We are learning to build a portfolio website. And that is exactly what we are doing.

By Stanleigh Dee on 10/24/2020

Great course , very knowledgeable instructor. I'd like to take a JQuery course with him if there is one.

By Tatiana Bondarenko on 10/5/2020

It was great! Thank you so much!
Just a few thoughts:
I've added some more paddings and margins for some elements just to give a little bit more space to the website.
And I think that the section "Skills" needs something (like arrow or scrolling signs) to show a user that he can scroll this section.
Since this is a course for the beginners I would also recommend adding comments in HTML and in CSS for every section of the website because this is what every developer should do, and it would be great to teach newcomers to do this as well!
Thanks for this course again! I will use this website as my resume!

Clear and concise so far.

By Jordan O Loughlin on 9/19/2020

Really easy to learn,excellent explanation and support

By Jungae Park on 9/19/2020

I have little experience with HTML/CSS/Javascript/jQuery/Bootstrap.
If you have basic understanding of those above, this course definitely brushes up your skills up to next level. Plus, your own portfolio for future uses!
I emphasize "basic understanding" part because if you have no idea what HTML/CSS/Javascript are.. It's hard to imagine what you would gain from this course other than watch him coding. You type exactly the same thing and Boom! make website work. But do you know why it works that way? When you see $("h1") , do you read it as document.querySelector("h1")?
Yes this is for beginner but I highly suggest that you go learn some very basics and take this course. You will like this course even more!
Reece introduces lots of cool plug-ins and websites for resources. That part was especially fun and helpful for me. I bought 2 more of his lectures after this. Excited!

By Elliott Farmer on 9/15/2020

Yes, I am a bit concerned about the use of so much third party code because if the third party changes the code it may mess with the website layout, appearance and functionality.

By Zainul Ibad on 9/11/2020

NOT recommended for people with no coding knowledge. I was looking for a portfolio for sharing not a folder. If I need I domain better I will I spent money on getting that rather than buying this course.

By Sanford Huynh on 9/11/2020

Very very good course! This is the first course I took with instructor Reece and I learned a lot making a personal portfolio. Experience with jQuery is useful here as a lot of the JavaScript codes used jQuery. Easy to follow and understand, I would recommend this course!

By Microphone Doctor on 9/10/2020

This is a great course! The instructor is great and easy to follow along with. He's also very responsive to student questions, which I really appreciate. I'm relatively new to front end programming and this course is a great way to get your feet wet and learn by doing. You'll learn HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript and jQuery. You'll also get introduced to a lot of plugins and graphics/icon libraries that you can use a lot going forward. I'm looking forward to taking more Udemy courses from Reece.

By Lincoln Parsons on 9/7/2020

Straightforward so far
