I would have loved to build a more interactive Web Page in the Labs

No, nope, where do I start? The robotic monolog or the constant repeating topic, or maybe it's the completely useless assignments(step by step instruction showing the answer is NOT how people actually learn). Entire course is a well made onboarding presentation to Facebook. NOPE.

There are better classes out there, this is a waste of my time, I really only finished it because I have a compulsion of must finish what I started.

Also please stop asking people to link their facebook profile in the assignments, not that I mind, oh wait, yeah, I actually do.

p.s. length on the left+middle+length on the right is NOT, i repeat NOT a pro tip, my 3-yr-old can tell you that. Joke's on me, that was the blaring sign telling me to "quit here RIGHT NOW!"

For being called an Introduction to Back End, there was few mentions of tech used in the back end stack as well as the course ended with the path for FRONT END developer certificate. Might just have been clerical error, but I feel like more discussion on backend could have been had. 3/5 for confusing title and feeling misleading. The instructor however was quite helpful to give an understanding of front end to give back end develeopers perspective, which I assume was the point?

Doesn't cover the basics of CSS and Bootstrap and it assume you have some knowledge about CSS and Bootstrap. Not beginner friendly but you still can make your with some external resources.

Introduction to Front-End Development content is reused here, half baked!

It is interesting and interactive but it is not so much about back-end.

This course is misleading because its named "Introduction to Back-End Development" but in reality its just an introduction to front-end web development, they also say that in the videos. Definitely not what i expected after i enrolled on the back-end software development professional certificate. Putting that on the side, the course wasnt bad. They could have gone in more depth regarding react.

possibly the worse online course ive ever taken. everything feels scripted and one sentence summaries. the parts i already knew were barely ok to follow along with. new material, like bootstrap, was a nightmare. i had to go on udemy and look at a normal teacher explain it where the student understanding is the goal... not doing the bare minimum and spending 20% of the lesson saying "now you know how to do xyz." im really hoping this is not what the rest of meta courses are like. again, this was the most painful "learn coding" experience ive had. and the part about coding for disabled access... lol, what a joke. their recommendation is to format your code nicely. they are more concerned about how they look than students actually learning.

waste of time, learn nothing, too much videos, half the link don't work. Not a good place to learn right now.

edit: and now, i can't access all pages names "lecture"... really, full of dead links that keep loading but no outcome.

re-edit: and now, can't access the forum... really good job on the website guys!

fronted stack available, not about backend

Thank you very much Coursera and Meta!

Sinceramente ayuda muchisimo, me gustaria un poco mas de ejercicios practicos, pero del resto todo excelete. Tendre que aprender aparte CSS que fue lo mas confuso para mi.

Sincerely it helps a lot, I would like a little more practical exercises, but otherwise everything excellent. I'll have to learn CSS, which was the most confusing thing for me.

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.

Hey, it was a great learning experience. Everything was explained in a simple way, making it very easy to understand. Kudos to the instructor for their excellent way of explaining the topics. I learned a lot and hope to apply my knowledge in the future. Thank you, Meta, for offering such an easy-to-follow and enjoyable course.

A very good option for complete beginners but one needs more resources in order to master HTML and CSS as not everything can be covered. I suggest w3schools.com and developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ . There's also htmlreference.io and cssreference.io .

If you're not a complete beginner, you can check frontendmentor.io/resources .

This course was very thorough and explained in a way that is easy to understand. I really appreciated all of the lab exercises that help you get some hands-on experience. And the Additional Resources in each section offered some great supplemental links to expand my learning. Would highly recommend!
