​Excelent course!A​bsolutely 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.

There is one bad moment.

In several tasks you have to guess right code. Page looks as expected, but grader has rules which are not described in task, so it get some nerver from me.

Overall the course is solid, and provide a good, but broad understanding of the topic. An area that could be improved is the assignments, they feel a bit too guided and easy.

Course is good. Topics are slightly off from the intent of this course. Weeks 2-3 are mostly on HTML/CSS/Bootstrap which are more related to Front End Development.

less hand holding and more do it yourself and solve this problem

some typos here and there and the labs towards the end were not graded, but all in all, a great way to jump into the basics of front-end development

I hope it had more videos than articles. I also hope that bootstrap was explained in more detail. But it was good.
