Honestly, pretty solid course. A lot of people were saying this course isn't for beginners but I would strongly disagree. I think the difficulty is FAIR, and really gets your brain thinking logically.

The example given in each video was very helpful in understanding how things work on the internet.

Overall experience was great as it was basically about basics and introduction to web development.

It is a great course to start learning front-end development. I suggest you will really go through the course and the links provided. If you have more time then you can also retake the test over and over again just to test your knowledge. With the browser IDE, you don't need to install something on your computer but if you want to explore more then I would suggest installing and trying it on your computer.

The Introduction to Frontend Development course by Meta provided an excellent learning experience. The practical approach, hands-on exercises, and engaging instructors made it enjoyable and effective. I gained a solid foundation in HTML and CSS, and feel confident in my ability to create visually appealing websites. I highly recommend this course to anyone starting their journey in frontend development.

This course has provided me with a concise introduction to web development along with valuable hands-on exercises. I found this aspect of the curriculum to be particularly engaging. The teaching methodology employed was exemplary, as the instructional videos were thoughtfully crafted with essential images and visual aids, making it easier for students like me to grasp the concepts effectively.

Although my knowledge is way beyond what the course teaches, I have to say that the way that the course was structured and taught has been one of the best experiences I have had with online learning. This is a completely non-biased review seeing as how I don't use Facebook and I'm usually pretty critical on how Meta operates. In the end though they have delivered a fantastic course.

Taking this course was great and fun. The Meta staff instuctors made the course very comprehensive with great illustrations and examples. Some of the course assignments and lab works were tough though, but with the deep understanding of the concepts as taught by the instructors, I was able to complete all the tasks successfully. Thanks to Coursera and Meta for the great work.

The Frontend Meta course offers a solid introduction to essential frontend web development concepts, covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and responsive design. The hands-on projects reinforce learning effectively. However, deeper JavaScript topics and a brief introduction to backend technologies could enhance the course's scope for aspiring full-stack developers.

I have to admit, this course, and hopefully by extension the whole Front End program, is very well designed and thought out. I have tried to develop skills using other course providers, but they were never as well organized as this seems to be. My one suggestion would be to increase the amount of hands on programming exercises, as you can never get enough practice!

This course is highly recommended to both of the beginner and mid level experienced developers. I can assure you, if you focus enough, you will learn something new even if you have some experiences. Thanks to Meta for offering this course.

And of course, this can be a good starting point for the learners who want to learn and explore the world of web developments.

I loved every bit of information and the way the teacher taught it. In this first course, we can learn the basics of front-end development and the role of front-end and back-end developers. The web is constantly changing, and we are more than never connected to the world. Therefore, learning web development will open a whole new world of possibilities.

I recently had the opportunity to enroll in the "Introduction to Front-End Development" Meta Course, and I must say it was an exceptionally enriching experience and thanks for approving my financial aid request otherwise I couldn't have got this opportunity thank you Meta and thanks Coursera . This course truly exceeded my expectations in several ways.

Its super easy to learn, and all the modules are a bit smaller so that the learning process goes smoothly and hassle-free. If you are a student or a professional willing to get started with codes, this is the best place. Most importantly, they have multiple assessments with gradings, which help us execute our learning with practice and mistakes

This course does a great job of giving a none technical person an introduction. Some concepts could have used more attention but that might be more than the average user could manage. Overall a great intro but if you want a really solid base I would recommend reading the Amazon books listed in the course content along with other materials.

This is a wonderful course, made with soul. This is a wonderful story in simple words about complex topics. Huge thanks to the amazing creators and Meta Corporation. I am a refugee from Ukraine studying to find a job and this course has been a huge support for me and my family during a difficult time after russia's dastardly attack on Ukraine.

Overall, it was a good course, but there are some areas that could be improved. For example: 1) More difficult questions could be added to the quiz instead of simple and easy ones. 2) Additional tasks should be included for more practice. 3) The final test should contain at least 50 questions to adequately assess the students' knowledge.

This was a highly informative and enjoyable course!

I loved the lab work and the instruction was so smooth easy to grasp. I cant wait to complete the other courses in the specialization, I have definitely gained tons more knowledge and I have done 2 other web development courses in the past. This course by Meta was a great choice for me.

For someone with previous experience, this provided a good refresher into the concepts of HTML, CSS and Javascript.

I really liked the lessons that provided extra content such as how the internet works and the intro to React.

I would like for the labs to be abit less prescriptive but I assume this is to allow the automated scoring system.

It's really fantastic course. Beginner here for example for me is a very good course. I learn a lot of things from this course. For example, before that course, I don't know about HTML, CSS, or Bootstrap and. React and after that course, I learned a lot of things about it. This subject. Thanks so much, it's helping me to Think better

The design of the course, and the fact that it is broken down into smaller pieces, makes it easy to digest. It is also much easier to follow than some of the other developer courses. This has been my best experience by far! Very clear instructions, great examples, great visuals, it didn't feel rushed... it was a perfect class!

I have the ADHD to back me up in my studies, so sometimes reading and receiving instructions can be a bit of a challenge. this course had me wrecked on the graded week 2 assignment, it took me forever to figure out what they wanted with the "DIF". eventually got it and could move on, but like I said the ADHD, was not helping.

It was a great introduction. Does not overwhelms a beginner. One suggestion is to add one more lab assessment for working with forms and all its's basic input types. That's the only thing that was not reinforced in this course. Also, Additional resources are too much to go through. Consider reducing them. Had a lot of fun!

A course that is easy to follow and clearly doesn't forget that it is tailored for absolute beginners. It gives you a good taste of just some of the capabilities when using HTML, CSS and Javascript alongside its many libraries.

It acts as an amazing leap-pad in starting your journey in the world of Front-End Development.

Learned so many new concepts like libraries and frameworks which will be beneficial for me for my front end developer career journey .

learned how to write HTML code and style it using CSS. I also learned how to use various libraries like Bootstrap and React. I understood the difference between a website, a web application, and a web page. I learned what grid systems are and how information travels over the internet, and much more. Thanks a lot 🙏
