its good but difficult to follow along at times since the instructor keeps switching between different coding websites. at times I get lost trying to figure out which one he is on as I follow along. But over all the content is great the instructor is knowledgeable and it is pretty engaging.
By Joao Magalhaes Souza on 8/13/2024
It's a very good practical lesson, but I missed some more theoretic explanation for the coding itself, like when to use or not some signals like "" : ; etc that could make it easier to follow and understand the coding. But it's nonetheless a very good introduction.
By Joanna Krass de Krassnokutski on 12/14/2023
This course was great for beginners but it would be helpful to have a visual resource that can show the visual changes of the code too. Easy to follow along with now, but it is going to be difficult to refer back to areas that I am learning on or haven't used in a while down the line.

could improve the presentation of each lesson in the CSS part, with the reuse of the previous code, it was very complicated to distinguish the actions, because there was already a lot of part of the previous codes
By Jovan Budic on 1/1/2019
I learned what I needed for my work. Some of the examples was confusing because all of the source code was not visible (scrolled up) and for the beginner it could be confusing.

This is a quick but thorough way to learn the basics of using HTML5 and CSS3 in Web Design. There were a lot of moments where the material made sense and started to "click", even though it moves at a brisk pace. The only thing I would really like to see differently content-wise is a little more explanation on items that seem to have no real world application.
By Cathy Gary on 5/9/2017
Would like to see the instructor at the beginning of the course demonstrate how to create the HTML within the notepad for use. Hard to follow alone without that resource available. The course at the point, from my perspective is getting to be more complex. I am an hands on learner.

Corso per principianti. Fa un volo generale sulle principali strutture del codice senza approfondire molto l'argomento. Comunque ben discusso. Consigliato a chi vuole avvicinarsi al mondo dell'HTML.
By Kamil Grząbkowiak on 10/11/2016
A very good cours, offers basic knowledge and lot of sources to fill up gaps (that naturaly are hard to explain in one tutorial becouse of loads of material to study). I totaly recomend!
By DAVE ZUPAN on 5/13/2016
I think this is a very good introduction on HTML 5 / CSS 3. It would be helpful to have the ALL current source from each section to be posted instead of just the new pieces, as it would make for easier flow. Also, perhaps a list of definitions of the items discussed at the end of each section which would enable a student to copy & paste for local use. Good job!
