Pros

Cons

    • Course works as a standalone introduction to web development and as a primer for more advanced web development and design classes.
    • Course is run by the California Institute of the Arts.
    • Course is designed by non-coding individuals for students who are not steeped in coding fundamentals.
    • Course walks students through domain registration and web hosting, which adds to the cost.
    • Covering HTML, CSS and PHP in a single course for non-coders can feel overwhelming.
    • Majority of learning is in work sessions rather than lessons.

The information presented is pretty easy to follow. It is nice to be able to re-watch portions of the videos when I need to and basically go at my own pace. I feel that helps me retain the information well.

This is a great course if you want to make a website, and learn as you go.. Surprisingly there werent many online courses too choose from, and this instructor has moved on from Kadenze, and not a lot of people still do the course... and some of the videos are out of date (wordpress changes a lot), so you need to kind of go off the script at times.That said the content was pretty good, it took a lot more time than I anticipated, as I was doing everything, from registering domains, too choosing a web host company, creating genuine website content, polishing themes and content.. if you just want to do it 'for the course', and a token website.. it would be much quicker.
