Mybe it worth to rename the course to introduction to the web development (and have one course instead of two), because syllabus for the Introduction to the Front-end develoment course is the same

This intro is a gentle overview of the front end, for many like me, it is a refresher course that adds new skills to old capabilities. I look forward to diving more into the back end of development.

Pretty good intro to HTML and CSS although with so much crammed in and relatively few exercises, the reward you get is really down to how much the individual student chooses to practice.

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.

could use some more of hands on and problem solving to solidify the learning of new concepts

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.

There are some bugs in assignment gradings. Apart from that everything is of excellent quality.
