Pros

Cons

- The introduction really takes students by the hand and leaves no one behind, which is important for getting a first code editor installed.
- Course masterfully works some networking fundamentals into the course, which is vital for making effective web apps.
- Even though it starts with the first step, course feels sufficiently deep to get students started with real app development.
- By starting with a framework, course creates some inevitable points of confusion as students advance their understanding of language constructs.
- Concepts regarding language fundamentals are too lightly covered.
- Ultimately students are only learning a way to create apps rather than why certain ways might be preferable.
