Its strongest side are the projects, with them you learn how to seriously develop websites. You practice the concepts and techniques a lot. In general the explanations range from good to excellent.

Course was informative. Could have been more complex by adding more dynamic functionalities. In concepts point view I think they covered how and why exactly they were using a functionality.

Their code snippet and lab instructions have so many errors. The course material is too repetitious and poorly organized. I know that facing the error is a normal thing in programming that developers have to deal with, but did the instructor intentionally create the error on purpose? Who knows...

Dear Instructors,

I hope this note finds you well. My name is Hamza Ayed and I am writing to express my gratitude for the Django Web Framework course that I have recently taken. I have always been interested in web development and have been looking for a way to expand my knowledge in this field. This course came as an opportunity for me to do so, and I am happy to say that I have learned a lot from it.

The course has helped me understand the basics of the Django framework and how it can be used to create web applications. I have learned about the different components of the framework such as views, models, and templates, and how they work together to create a seamless user experience.

I loved the way the course was structured and the way the material was presented. The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful, and the examples provided were practical and easy to understand. The course also provided a great opportunity to interact with other students and share our knowledge and experiences.

I would like to thank the instructors and the staff at avatarTaught for all their hard work and dedication in making this course a success. I am looking forward to applying what I have learned in my future projects.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Hamza Ayed

A lot of good stuff. Great introduction to Django Framework. Good exercises. I would only suggest that final assignment should be without step by step guide, because its just to easy and it does not check any knowledge. I am surprised even tho there is step by step guide people still cannot create fully functional app. Seems some people just want the certificate.

Lots of great information, poor execution. There were abundant typos, the material was not consistent across readings/videos, quiz questions were often worded poorly, and projects often contained incorrect information or topics that hadn’t been discussed before. As a teacher myself, I noticed many aspects that, while correct by programming standards, could be rewritten to be better for learning. It has great potential! It was a very helpful launchpad, but it’s definitely not a reliable, comprehensive resource on its own.

This course is very sloppily put together. Nearly every reading and lab is full of mistakes, as if nobody looked over any of it after it was first written. Sometimes the lab instructions will be outright incorrect and misleading. This was fine for me, as an experienced developer, but I can imagine it would be terrible for a newcomer. The quizzes are also frustrating to deal with because they sometimes ask about things that aren't in the course materials, or ask about unimportant details like the order of parameters in a function call. That being said, since the quizzes can be retaken quite liberally, this isn't a huge issue. In general, you can learn Django by going through this course, it has all of the necessary information in it. The labs are a convenient way of applying and solidifying your knowledge, but for some reason the web browser built in to VSCode for these labs is extremely laggy (it sometimes takes several minutes to click a link). Anyway, I think most people would be better off just reading Django's documentation and experimenting by themselves.

Why should I wait for my peer to get the certificate? I'll change the review if these problems are solved.

The Django web framework is an excellent choice for building web applications. It offers a high level of productivity, thanks to its built-in features and conventions. The framework promotes efficient development through its clear and concise code structure, facilitating rapid prototyping. Django's robust and secure authentication system simplifies user management and ensures data protection. Its powerful ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) enables seamless database integration, making data manipulation easy and efficient. Additionally, Django provides excellent documentation and an active community, which greatly aids in learning and problem-solving. Its extensive ecosystem offers a wide range of libraries and packages to extend functionality and integrate with other tools. Overall, Django is a reliable and efficient web framework that significantly simplifies the web development process while promoting best practices and security. It is suitable for both small-scale projects and large, enterprise-level applications.

I found the Coursera course on Django Web Framework by Meta to be of high quality overall. While there were some minor errors scattered throughout the course, and at times, the instructions were either lacking or a bit misleading, I can empathize with the challenges of creating such a comprehensive course.

Despite these occasional shortcomings, the course still delivers substantial value. The content provided is insightful and well-structured, helping learners grasp the fundamentals of Django effectively. It covers essential concepts and techniques, enabling students to build their web applications with confidence.

The course's few imperfections do not significantly diminish its worth. I appreciate the effort put into creating this valuable resource on Django, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their web development skills.

Thank you Meta and Coursera :)

Meta's django Web framework is an amazing course. There are extraordinary subjects in this course and most of them really outstanding. Django has an indomitable imact in this fields of technology. The instructor is absolutely charming and the way the instructor has conveyed the messages is very gentle and decent. I believe It is a right place to invest our hardwork.

Hours of exploration will not find a single dedicated course on django on the internet. This course is amazing for delivering the theory of core django principals. The hands-on learning through the project building is great too. Everyone intending to learn django should take this course first before trying anything else.

Wonderful teaching by Meta with excellent labs and lectures. I'm a retired lead s/w engineer with 23 years experience. Thanks to this well structured course, I finished early, but got so addicted to it, I worked on it every day, instead of the 2 days per week I planned for.

This course provides all the basics to build a simple data-driven web application. However, loot's of things still need to be investigated on top of this course until you can be able to build real stuff.
