After going through the course and doing the assignments you'll surely learning a thing or two unless you've done a bit of front-end work already. I think one thing that detracts from the experience here is that the lecturer feels the need to articulate every little special character which gives me as the listener a headache. I understand this may be for accessibility reasons, but still, to most people it makes the course worse. The guided labs are as useless as ever, though I actually quite liked the hands-on assignments in this one. The AI chats are actually not so bad either.

The course itself has good content for beginners but the experience overall is pretty lackluster, but necessary to earn the certificate. If you don't need to take it than spare yourself the trouble. Oftentimes the instructor will give an example like like "this company is adding xyz to their website" and then show only the code on the screen. However, they never (or rarely) show what the example looks like on the website itself... This is especially frustrating in the CSS section of the course, since CSS is all about making things visually appealing, but they never show any of the visual examples being taught. There's also just a lot of repetition throughout the videos. This doesn't bother me as much since I know repetition helps to remember, but when 4 videos back-to-back are all giving the same definitions and examples of 'semantic html' it just feels like the course is trying to draw out its content unnecessarily... I also wasn't a fan CoPilot being pushed so hard, since it has a subscription attached to it. But I can see how it makes coding more efficient, so I understand why it is being shown to beginners I suppose. I didn't like the Guided Labs where you had to fill in the blanks and hope you typed the exact answer. When the answers are just a few words that is fine, but it is frustrating when it expects the user input to match the exact answer when it is over 30 characters long. Using a proper code editor with syntax highlighting would be better, so I am glad that there was the step after with a proper in-browser editor. If you're taking the course and aren't a complete coding beginner, I'd suggest just skipping the Guided Lab steps since they aren't mandatory. The in-browser editor is always on the next step and is much less frustrating to work with.

This was a very poorly executed class. The guided tutorials were very unhelpful- especially later on where it would have been much better to focus on the new concepts being taught, as opposed to spending a significant amount of time filling in the blanks on material that was learning in the early lessons. The instructor spent a significant amount of time reading each individual character when reading code examples. The examples in the video instruction were not helpful- it would be better to explain the syntax (not read the syntax) and then actually see what that syntax is doing in real time- there are many free youtube videos that handle this significantly better. In addition, I think more hands-on practice examples are necessary to really learn the content.

They didn't put much love into it. They don't show you how to use the concepts properly. Guided labs focus on you writing file names and header names with their spelling (there is no way I can anticipate what they want me to write), instead on focusing on how to code. If you have no html/css/javascript experience, you won't learn from this course. If you do, there is nothing new here, since it is very basic. Don't take this course.

Terrible course, barely explained any syntax in a hands on context, while repeating the same superficial information multiple times along multiple videos and quizes, and then relying on AI to do the actual coding, that's just terrible advice, I won't be able to fix the AI code if I can't build it for myself first
