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.

I have come a long way in one week, supplemented my knowledge and learned many new techniques, I love this course, it opened up a big world of web development for me, and this is just the beginning of my journey. I did a lot of documentation, I’ve been passing many times all assignments on 100% each, now I read some books that Meta recommended for me, and I see the result of my efforts. I want to dive deep into development and come up with new methods and approaches to be more experienced and dynamic in the future, I used many forums and websites, searched and tried, communicated and helped the guys on Coursera, I'm translating the course from English to Russian, so that in the future other people can also study here without language difficulties.

I believe that if you make an effort, be persistent, do not stop, believe in yourself and value time, then you can move mountains. You can achieve what you want by being brave and ready to face difficulties and overcome them. My goal is much more than just being a frontend, my goal is to become a multi-faceted developer who can help many people with different technical needs. Who goes to his skill and study until old age, while continuing to study and help others.

I have been used to working with a lot of information since childhood and I believe that in order to be a true professional in my field, you need to strive higher. Strength is not a result. Strength is the process of persistent movement towards a goal. I do and create with my soul, I think that sometimes it is very important to always plan in advance, stop for a minute, find words, and competently weigh various solutions in order to then find the best.

Thanks to everyone who embarked on this journey with me. I am so excited and inspired to continue, so my study of JavaScript begins without delay (that even the TCP with React Fiber Architecture envied me) from now on! Have a good study and have a good day!

I found the section related to frameworks and libraries very interesting because it revealed that the concepts of front-end development, such as HTML and CSS, may seem simple, but utilizing them effectively requires a certain level of sophistication. It sparked my curiosity to explore how to design interactive and user-friendly websites that also prioritize high performance.

What did you find most challenging and why? The most challenging aspect for me was understanding how to strike a balance between interactivity, user-friendliness, and high-speed performance in website design. Achieving all these goals simultaneously requires careful consideration and optimization of various factors, such as efficient code, optimized asset delivery, and responsive design.

What would you like to learn more about? I would like to learn more about techniques and best practices for creating interactive and user-friendly websites with high performance. Specifically, I'm interested in learning about advanced JavaScript frameworks, responsive design principles, optimization strategies, and user experience (UX) design methodologies.

Tell why learning more about web development will be an advantage. Learning more about web development can provide several advantages. Firstly, it enables one to create visually appealing and functional websites that enhance the user experience. Additionally, understanding web development allows individuals to effectively communicate and collaborate with web developers, designers, and other stakeholders in web projects. Furthermore, as the online world continues to evolve and play an increasingly important role in various industries, having web development skills can open up career opportunities and provide a competitive edge in the job market.

Inroduction to Front-End Development takes you an information ride that will lead you to the destination of being able to craete a fully workable web site. The tutorial videos is what really makes this an enjoyable experience as you will not only just see, but actually get a "hands on" expierence by engaging in these labs as they call them. From time to time, you are quizzed with a question which acts as a " if you are paying attention to the information that is parted to you type question". And between each section, there is a graded quiz in which you must pass with 80% of greater, else your journey crawls to a complate standstill. Fail 3 times and you wont be able to retake a test until at least eight hours has passed. But by the time you have finished the intro, you will( or should) truly have a solid foundation of what html is, css and how to work with with the bootstrap library. I say the last part provided that you are PAYING ATTENTION and retaining a working memory of what is being taught to you. So you if you just learn and know what is is being taught, then you will fall short if you can't understand what is being taught to you. And that's with anything in life. In closing, if are really wanting to know, learn and understand Front-End Development then this course is for you. You will be taught my Meta professionals and they have done a great job in putting together a solid learning structure for someone that want to know what Front End Development is all about.

This course is a great overview of all the technology that will be used. This touches on HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and React. The labs are simple since they just teach you some of the basics and once you will build on them with CSS and Bootstrap. Remember this is an introduction to Front-End Development and the other 8 courses will go into more details as you progress. Overall this is a great course and you need to pay attention to the video and reading. Some people on this course are in a rush and don't understand why they scored low and why the answer to the question on the test are wrong. The question on the test are trick question and you need to read them thoroughly to get what they are asking. Overall nice intro for beginners and people who have a basic knowledge in the field.

This course is a great start to the overall professional certificate. One should watch the videos and make notes. But just making notes is not enough, you should revise those and re-watch the videos if you think you have forgotten something. The Bootstrap section of the course is pretty great when you consider that this just an introduction. I think along with this course if one also does the freecodecamp's New Responsive web design certificate then learning can be even better. I will be pursuing the FCC along with this.

Overall great course, can't wait to get to JavaScript. But before that I will revise my notes then I will jump into that course.

This really teaches you all that you have been missing when learning by yourself. The video lessons are the best quality on Coursera in terms of video and audio. It covers all the topics that you need for starting as a web developer and gives you enough confidence to move forward. We use the web daily so even if you are not a web developer this course is a good investment of time.

I had already worked with JavaScript and HTML but never paid attention to the theory and best practices in the way that they are presented here. The course can be completed in a short time but taking notes and pausing the video is the best way to go if you want to learn.

This course is very useful to me. Thanks a lot to Coursera, make me have these chances to learn more about front-end development. I am currently a college student which taking IT course. College focus on more general stuff of IT. But, I am more interested in front-end development. That's why I am here to join this course. This course teaches a lot of theory that I have never learned before and it also teaches us step by step on how to use bootstrap which can reduce the time of development a website. Last but not least, the people here are very helpful, we can ask questions when we meet some problems while doing practical questions.

Very interesting, it gives you a lot of beginner knowledge on multiple areas of web development using readings, video, and sample assignments. I think it's enough information in this course to give the learner an opportunity to see if this career role would be the best fit or not before actually going head first into something new. The sample assignments are very quick and simple and they walk you through each step so you understand what they're asking and expecting from the assignment. I have some background experience in web development but I still learned new things I didn't know prior to this course.

I personally enjoyed the structure of this course! The tutorials are very beginner friendly, making it very easy for anyone to pick up and understand the concepts. What I love about the course is doing the quizzes and exercises as they allow us to practice coding the concepts and solidifying what we have learned throughout the video tutorials and readings. The only challenge I faced is not being able to completely grasp the technical concepts in a single view, so I had to rewatch the video a few times in order to fully understand but its worth the time and effort! I would rate this course a 11/10!
