Pre-Programming: Everything you need to know before you code (Udemy.com)

The initial sections on the basics and how the internet works are clear and useful, but the overall quality drops quickly afterward. The section on core coding concepts is too superficial and misses essential topics. Some parts remain interesting (such as CMS platforms like Drupal and Magento), but from the second half of the course onward, engagement decreases significantly, leading to skipping several sections due to repetition and lack of depth. Another major issue is obsolescence: several provided links are no longer working, which reduces the value of the external resources and the overall usability of the course. Overall, the content feels outdated compared to current industry standards.

I believe this is a 5 star course, but there are quite a few things that are out of date. Especially in the files. One link went to a site that no longer existed and promptly installed adware or something on my desktop that I had to get rid of. So those definitely need to get fixed and updated, but otherwise definitely a five star course!

It got a little political a few times which was distracting from trying to learn the neutral information of code writing. The quizzes asked questions in wording that was a little hard to understand. Some information was not specified prior to the quiz. Python was said to be able to write desktop applications, but it was not specified that Ruby and PHP could not prior to the quiz. Some things felt like opinions on a function "is cool" "looking pretty" rather than the neutral function of what the thing does and felt slightly non-specific.

Loved the content. I would just like to see more updates as a lot of the content seems like 2017ish and there have been changes in technology since then. Would love to know the newer version. Other than that, very engaging and informative.

I wasn't aware that this course is nearly 10 years old, that's on me i guess. Some information will feel outdated. You'll still get a good basic understanding of how web design works, however. The presentation is a matter of taste. I got tired of my man's "yo dank meme" attitude pretty quickly, but eh. The whole course is also *very* America centric, be aware of that.

Evan is a natural teacher and comedian. This is one of my favourite courses on Udemy and one I go back to time and again to refresh my memory in some of the trickier subjects. If you are thinking od learning web design or starting to learn a programming language then you need to watch this series of lectures first. Evrything you learn in future courses will make a lot more sense after watching this course.

Es un muy buen curso para echar un vistazo rápido al mundo de la informática. Los videos son cortos, bien editados, con un buen y ligero sentido del humor, además de tener una gran variedad de enlaces con mucha riqueza de contenido para seguir profundizando. Recomendadísimo para cualquier persona que recién está empezando en este mundillo.

The lectures are concise, to the point and really informative. You will learn a lot regardless of your background, especially if you take the time to go through the provided additional reading material. Oh, not to mention that Evan is a great instructor with a good sense of humor. I can wholeheartedly recommend the course!

Great gift of explanation!! I'm not a programmer nor want to be one but feel much more comfortable having a conversation with most people, except my neighbor ( 20's living in moms basement) who speakings enthusiastically about esoteric offshoots of these concepts that I never heard of and don't care to understand. Your course is fantastic and I'm having my 10 year-old take 4-5 lectures today to see if he likes it too. Thanks

This course was a good refresher for me to interweave all the loose ends of the knowledge. This course is meant for beginners or like me focus to much on one form of technology but not really understood the point in the rest of them. Good round about course to prepare you for further investments in yourself to become better. Highly recommend the course.
