I am thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Coursera. From the moment I enrolled in my first course, I was hooked on the platform's remarkable features and outstanding quality of education. It is without a doubt that Coursera deserves a resounding five-star rating. Let me highlight a few aspects that truly set Coursera apart:

Vast Selection of Courses: Coursera offers an unparalleled variety of courses across an extensive range of subjects. Whether you are interested in computer science, business, arts, or any other field, you'll find an abundance of high-quality courses to choose from. The diverse selection ensures that every learner can find something that matches their interests and goals.

Top-Notch Instructors: Coursera partners with renowned universities and industry experts to deliver courses of exceptional quality. The instructors are not only highly knowledgeable in their respective fields but also skilled at conveying complex concepts in a clear and engaging manner. Their passion for teaching shines through in every lecture, making the learning experience truly enjoyable.

Flexibility and Accessibility: One of the standout features of Coursera is its flexibility. The platform allows learners to access course materials at their own pace, enabling a customized learning experience that fits into busy schedules. Additionally, the ability to access courses on various devices, including smartphones and tablets, enhances accessibility, ensuring learning is possible anytime, anywhere.

Interactive Learning Tools: Coursera goes above and beyond in promoting active learning. The incorporation of interactive quizzes, hands-on assignments, and discussion forums adds immense value to the courses. These tools facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject matter and provide opportunities for learners to connect with fellow students, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

Professional Certifications: Coursera's professional certificates hold significant value in today's competitive job market. The opportunity to earn a recognized certification upon course completion adds a sense of accomplishment and enhances career prospects. The industry-recognized credentials are a testament to the rigor and relevance of the courses offered.

The instructor has a soft and slow-paced speaking which makes the learning process of non-native english speakers easier. I think the course was well planned and designed with well-fitted assignments that are not too difficult to do. It suited me at least. The downside is that I think the course needs to be updated to use latest versions of javascript. In spite of this downside this course is worth because the instructor provides the fundamentals, which makes you get the basic process of building a webpage. It is not the type of course which presents you a lot of sequential videos, with lots and lots of content, which makes you bored. It was designed the way I like: very little content and then practice, very little content and then practice, very little content and then practice. I don't like online courses that throws a bunch of content at me. It makes me feel confused. Of course javascript sounds like a topic greater then what was presented here. Nonetheless I think this course set the fundamentals that encouraged me to seek advancements.

Thic course is really great. I have learned so much and now know what in my previous projects was not implemented how it should have been. I have had some difficulties with the initial system setup as the software versions nowadays are on a newer release and the screenshots do not match any longer. I think it would be great to renew this video based on the actual versions. As well it took me some time to get my new module solution available in GitHub to make it direktly accessible via link. I think with module5 I found a way :) Week5 was too fast for me. There is so much info inside. I got my solution to work but I am not sure I fully understood what and why I am doing so. With Ajax we basically loaded code snippets and modified them using JS. But I am wondering if I can use Ajax as well to let the webserver perform some calculations / validations and return the result back. I need to dig into this piece ...

Now, after 5 weeks, what can I say more than: Thank you so much for this course.

This is a very comprehensive course (based on my personal experience with Coursera at least) that goes into relevant detail on the topics it covers, but without wasting time on unnecessary trivialities. The delivery is clear and engaging, so if you're interested in the matter, you won't get bored. The material covers all the right topics for an up and coming web designer, providing the right amount of information for a confident start and plenty of pointers where and how to expand on the knowledge provided. Another point in favor is the frequent and valuable engagement of the professor and his teaching assistants in the discussion forums, unlike some other courses that feel abandoned by the staff once they start. In closing, I've checked out several web design courses on Coursera and if you can choose only one, this one would definitely be my pick from all the ones I enrolled in.

Professor Chaikin does an excellent job of providing step by step details of HTML, CSS, and Javascript, but be forewarned, he does assume you have some basic knowledge of the concepts and he'll skip around a few of the deeper aspects of HTML, CSS, and Javascript in terms of time. The purpose is to get you better acquainted with the material as this is part of the "Ruby on Rails" specialization. The latter weeks get more intense and may require a few resets...but stick with it; you'll get the concepts down pat and your problem-solving skills will improve if you keep focus and finish your projects. One final piece of advice; when coding, ALWAYS notate what you do and space out your coding to see it better in action. This will save you a TON of debugging time and will greatly improve your own skills as you will have a better understanding of where you need to focus and fine-tune.

This is a really, really good course. Believe me, because I'm not a good student by any means. In fact, I had to retake a couple of courses back in my University days because I just played video games all day and I just couldn't focus on anything being taught during lectures.

But this course was explained in a way, that is really clear and engaging to me. Professor Chaikin even takes you on a field trip, like a "day-in-life" of a website developer to meet a client of his. You are then explained every step of the way in making that website for the client.

Just one thing, because the assignments are peer reviewed, the discussion forums are filled with "review my assignment with full marks and i will do the same to yours" posts. Don't be like them, don't half-arse your assignments then beg for full marks, and you will learn a lot. Guaranteed.

This course is amazing, I totally suggest to everyone interested in this field to have a look, but I personally feel that was too theoretical in few modules and I couldn't manage to grasp really well few steps where I felt I needed more practical exercises. I also felt that the last modules about JS was too rush. I can suggest to add more practical interactive exercise and also in the explanation of the steps during the setting part of the software, please add a list with all the steps to follow. I really had an hard time there.

Despite this, the course is amazing and it was a pleasure to learn more about this fascinating word. In the next month I will continue to read the books suggested and after that, when I will be more confident on JS, I will jump in making website to someone else other than me. Thank you again and see you around.

The course is valuable especially due to the personality of the teacher. As an obviously experienced developer, Mr. Chaikin provides you with modern techniques of using Javascript and responsive design. You'll probably encounter most of these techniques in the real life of a developer. The course is centered on practicing and the pace is fast. Don't be mislead by the colloquial tone and the quality humor present in lectures. Although the humor is good, you'll need to replicate most of the code examples on your machine, if you want to feel you've really learned something at the end of the day. That being said, the course is not perfect: the AJAX part might deserve more room in the future versions of this course. For those with previous exposure to some web techniques (my case), the course was an excellent refresher.

Great training. I wish it was more complete by offering a more advanced course that is based on 10 to 15 real world projects. More like boot camps that build skills and confidence for entering into the job market more easily and more successfully. If that kind of advanced training was available then courser certificates would be more popular with learners everywhere. I encourage you to consider offering another class or expand the existing program that teaches advanced Html, Css, JavaScript employing User Experience and User Interface design skills.

I'm aware you have a Ruby on Rails program but Ruby is not as popular as it used to be. These days Full-Stack React and Angular development are the way to go. Also a course on Database design and development would be appreciated. Thank you for this great course.
