Richard Stibbard's "Ultimate Web Development Course" (Udemy.com)

Excellent handling of concepts with examples and assignments. Wanted to get a quick intro to web development, switching form an applications developer/programmer for over 23+ years... This course has covered the essential concepts from basic web pages to dynamic website pages using PHP, Database, Java scripts, Ajax and finally to deployment on real-time web servers. Overall, the course was very helpful. Thank you , Richard.

I'm thoroughly impressed with this course so far. By first hand experience, I'm learning how multiple languages work individually as well as together, I'm sharpening my HTML and CSS skills, and I'm learning how to work with databases and servers. Despite not actually having the working files on hand, I've still been able to keep up quite well. Everything I've been looking to learn and improve upon has been presented pretty well to me in this course, and I hope to use this valuable information to not only help me learn and grow in the art of computer science, but it will also help me prepare for a career in this field.

Was worried in the beginning it was moving too slow, but found that the repetition really paid off once we were a little deeper into the heart of the coding and assignments. Great course! Highly recommend it if you're a programmer of another language and want a boots on the ground example using javascript, jQuery and AJAX.

This course is very thoughtfully compiled and very well narrated. The author/presenter makes every effort to ensure all materials are current and takes time to explain the 'little' detail involved in the way the Mark-up and Elements are constructed. The reason I have not given a 'Excellent' rating is that sometimes, the presenter has a tendency to rush through some of the topics.

More than halfway through now and very pleased with the course. It's very well organized and everything is presented in orderly fashion to build on concepts already introduced. it's super nice that there are completed files at the end of various sections throughout the course so if yours aren't working you can compare and contrast and see where you went wrong. Great learning experience and Dr. Stibbard is a great teacher.

The Ultimate Web Development Course from Dr. Richard Stibbard continues the excellence in education provided by Udemy.com This course takes the user from novice to full-fledged "pro". Over the 130+ lessons, Dr. Skibbard uses a single project to introduce HTML5, CSS3, MySQL, PHP, AJAX, and jQuery. The easy conversational style of Dr. Skibbard, plus the detailed explanations and provided source code make this course a "must-take" for those interested in all facets of Website Development. I would give The Ultimate Web Development Course from Dr. Richard Stibbard course 5 stars and my most positive recommendation!

The course is taught via the development of one large project (as far as online courses go), and you'll get an excellent foundation in various front-end and back-end web technologies. I would have appreciated more detailed explanations as to why markup or code was being written, and what the purpose is. I sometimes felt that I was just watching it seeing as the instructor already knew what he was doing. Also, I seemed to struggle at times with inconsistencies between the lectures and the working files provided. Overall though, great stuff.

I had been searching with no success for tutorials, articles, and courses where i could learn how to use jquery effects and getting ajax to communicate with the database. One day, i watched the promo of this course on Youtube and didn't hesitate to take the course at Udemy. I have just finished this course and i feel satisfied because i could achieve my goal. The star missing is because it was really hard for me trying to keep all my notes in the code, since Richard asks you to override the former files frequently. It took me longer trying to copy my notes (//comments or customized code) to the new files. Anyway, i could manage to learn and how to apply on my own website projects these cool and visual effects by using jQuery and updating the changes in the database through ajax & php. ☺

Richard, This has been one of the best web courses ever. It should be used as a model by almost anyone thinking of teaching on the web. It has cleared out nearly a decade of web programming cobwebs. The fact you have made a course which is complete end-to-end is impressive. The fact that code examples all work puts nearly every programming book and most web courses to shame. If you ever have the time and inclination, please consider a course on php programming for a CMS such as Joomla, Wordpress or Drupal. Your thorough systematic approach would be of great help. Kind regards, Paul
