What others say
I like the higher level explanations of the material. The explaining of the underlying why. Excellent rigorous introductory training on web page fundamentals.
- Usuff Omar
The instructor's real-world knowledge and experience was exemplary. His ability to break it down into manageable pieces was what I liked most. It wasn't your typical 'Death by PowerPoint' seminar. I went to learn code and I learnt code through step-by-step hands-on examples. The pace was very smooth and I didn't feel pressured. I'd definitely return in the future and I'd also recommend this course to my work colleagues.
