This course was an eye-opener to web development in general and to the back-end in particular. Kudos to the lead female instructor and the rest of the Meta staff who helped to put it together. I am glad I took it and I am excited about taking the next course in the professional certificate.

A very good course for sure! I've paid for expensive courses (albeit in a different line of work) that weren't anywhere near as good as this. The slides were great and easy to understand, but most notably, the woman explaining it all did so in a great way and she had a really nice voice.

Excellent intro course! I love how it starts with the foundation knowledge and not just jump immediately to coding. As a teacher, I was very impressed by the length of the videos and readings. Perfect duration to keep learners' attention and straightforward wordings and visuals.

A didactic course, with a lot of practice using the lab within coursera, without the need to install applications, which is very practical. The format and organization of the articles is very well done. Congratulations Coursera.

Great course. Lots of resources to keep a learner engaged.

However, knowledge-brought-forward is highly recommended for new entrants. If you have no prior knowledge, you need to make the effort to do extensive research.

This course is an overview of Front-End technologies. I believe every back-end developer needs to be familiar to a certain degree with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and React.

Amazing course, can't wait to start the second course

Overall it's a great introduction course to Back-end development. It has enough practice lab, but to learn it solid I'd need to practice more out of this class. Good, a lot of web resources are provided in reading.

Excelent course!

Absolutely 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.

Well-paced and well-covered course on Python. Of course, students need to research online to learn some topics in more depth. But that's a normal part of learning tech.
