Excelent course!

Absolutely the best front-end course I have seen so far. Incredibly clear, even though it teachs the most important concepts that even many practitioners do not know so well.

4 weeks about React and Bootstrap, no value for backend developers

Great! One of the best courses I've done so far. Can't wait to learn more. The only thing to improve would be a an additional practical subchapter about react with real coding projects.

It's good for beginners, though we mostly focus on the front end, not much on the back end.

Why is it identical to the course "Introduction to Front-End Development"? The contents are about HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which are basically what front-end developers will use

I really enjoyed this course. The practice was great. I was blown away by the ability to code within the course, rather than by download. I did download the IDE to practice on my own.

They kept it simple and easy to understand. The assignments were well guided. The topics were well covered. Just wish to see some introduction topics regarding back-end development.

This course is titled "Introduction to Backend Development" but it's entirely focused on front-end development.

I found the entire course very interesting, as it presented the full spectrum of web development. The material was presented very well, step by step, and was easy to understand.

To simple. To easy. Not informative. Quiz questions are vague.

I absolutely loved this course and I think it's the best introduction to Back-End development. It not only describe the role of a Back-End developer but it also covers all the basic of Front-End development and UI frameworks that should be enough for a beginner Back-End developer to start with. So that way you don't get overwhelmed by the front end stuff you will likely never use as a Back-End developer. If you're a Back-End student I highly recommend starting with this course, because it is right to the point and it covers things like HTML forms, css/bootstrap grid and some other basic things that you need to know.

This is first time i have actually enjoyed learning HTML and CSS. It always felt like I would never get a hang of it, But this course made it all easy for me and made me hungry for more.

Amazing intro, learned HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and React lightly but clear concepts. Most recommended for a first approach for non-techy backgrounds.

This course is really helpful and amazing, it has simple explanation videos, the assignments was really joyful and interesting. I get to learn about React and it's use in such a simple way. The core information about internet technologies such as HTTP, web server, application servers are really useful. The additional content after every module contents lots of deep information about the topics.

Another brilliant course. Introduced to networking, HTTP principles, and some front-end technologies like HTML and CSS that lay the foundations to becoming a back-end developer. Thanks to the instructors, who are brilliant.

The woman who is teaching is really good.

The courses are very interesting using a variety of teaching methods from videos, readings, quizzes, labs and exams. In addition, the explanations are very easy to understand and are followed by visualizations that make the material easier to understand

This course is great for both beginers and experiences. However, I recommend ones who have at least basic programming before starting this course since this course is a little fast pace, it could be hard to follow if you are a completely beginer.

I think the Bootstrap part of the course needs to be improved a little bit, because i thought that it got introduced a bit too fast which creates confusion. Other than that, everything else was great
