Good course, really good experience with Laurence Svekis as instuctor for begainner in the world of web design or development you need to start step by step and if you were with some experience and t=need to review your knowledge this course is the best ,i took it twice and applicate it in many types of my designs ,really it is the real path you should to take

The course is very comprehensive but slowing down and making himself clear where to access the resources to follow alongside instead of rapidly barreling through.
By Filip Kaszczynski on 11/4/2017
A lot of bad habits are being taught here. A lot of stuff is being omitted. I cannot recommend this course. It is a bad lesson for someone new in web developing and even worse for someone who's already in it. On the other hand, the instructor is understandable easily even on 2x speed and you're being shown how to quickly make "complete" website.

I am being asked for a review during the course teaching you to create and code a single page website using HTML and CSS. The instructor is clear and easy to understand. Minimal on jargon which is good for a learner like me. So far we have discussed course long term aims, resources required and how to create a preview of what you want the websites layout to be like before coding. The course aims are all in the title and self explanatory. The instructor suggests using no less than 10 seperate resources for website creation, however this includes chrome. While the way he suggests and explains each resource and its use is clear and concise, I believe it's a bit of a lack of foresight for beginners like me. During the tutorial he had all these programs running simoltaniously which is very demanding on RAM and a bit of a pain if you have to chop and change. However this critisisim is lighthearted as often coding can take way more programs! Thanks for the tutorial so far and look forward to learning to work with HTML and CSS now for real. _Tanna_Japonensis_

starts out good, but get disorganized on the way plus the Jquery part is pretty match useless either explain it right or don't.
By Dhalendra Chandrawanshi on 6/17/2017
It's very swift course and you will learn a lot, however, he should give 1 chapter for use of Brackets or other tools. I enjoyed this course and learned a lot.
By Firdaus Kamal on 2/14/2017
The course is good enough for beginner. The instructor clearly explain hows and whys you have to do this and that. I learn many new things from this intructor. I'd like to learn more new things from this instructor like dropwdown menu in pure css or with javascript, sliding image or animation in css/js like switch between pages in future. Keep it up your great work!

It's a great course from a great instructor, I've tried many other courses and videos but none of them helped me learn without confusion. Thanks!

Hands on - explaining how a specific website is build end-to-end. However, no concepts are explained. Feels like I understood everything but I cannot implement on other projects.
