Course Description
Do you want to become an expert web developer?
Or maybe you want to build a professional portfolio website to show off your projects?
If so, you’re in the right place! This course will guide you step by step in creating your own responsive portfolio website COMPLETELY from scratch.
We’re talking the kind of website that will amaze anybody that sees it. The kind of website that will get you hired in no time! A good portfolio website is something every decent developer needs to have. Without it, how can you expect to stand out from the millions of other developers that are out there. A portfolio website is an excellent way to show people just how good you are as well as displaying projects that you've worked on. Why tell an employer how good you are when you can show them.
Why let me teach you?
I work as a Software Engineer at Microsoft where I build products used by millions of people all over the world! I want to take the skills I’ve gained through years of working with some of the best developers in the world and transfer them directly to you!
I’ve taught thousands of students here on Udemy and created some of the most popular development courses on Udemy!
Okay so what’s the course about?
In this course, we will create a beautiful responsive portfolio website from scratch using HTML, CSS, JavaScript/JQuery and whilst also making use of some great (free) third party tools. Anybody who sees your site will know that:
you are proficient with HTML/CSS
you possess extensive JavaScript skills
you are able to create responsive websites
you are able to implement third party tools (very important skill)
and much more!
Whether you are a complete beginner* or an experienced programmer, this course will be massively beneficial to you.
Why should I take the course?
In the programming world, the “big 4” often consists of Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon. To get a job at any of these companies, you absolutely MUST know the essentials: HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
If you take this course, you will have nothing to worry about because we use all of these skills extensively!
Support:
By enrolling in this course, you will have my COMPLETE support. I'm always ready to answer any question you may have. Programming issues, errors, feature requests, general programming advice - it doesn't matter, I'm always happy to help! I always aim to respond to questions within a few hours and it's also worth noting that I've answered EVERY SINGLE question asked so far on all of my courses.
Fun!
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. I will explain everything as I go, but some things I spent more time on than others. I don't spent a huge amount of time on the absolute lowest level basics e.g. what is HTML. So if you have absolutely no experience programming, you are absolutely fine to take this course, just ask me to explain things further if you would like a more detailed explanation :)

The course has not been up to date for a long time and some parts could be better explained. Despite the fact that I have followed the explanations and redone them several times, there are things that don't work, such as the counter or, more importantly, closing the navbar when you are on your phone by clicking on the icon, which doesn't work. I was a bit disappointed

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.

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 Microphone Doctor on 9/13/2020
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 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!
