Reviews
Amazing intro, learned HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and React lightly but clear concepts. Most recommended for a first approach for non-techy backgrounds.
This is a must do course for future front/back end developers! It is worth the time and paitence.
The best course I have ever enrolled in. Its contents are rich with learning materails and has an interactive syllabus.
Before taking this course, I have no skills in Frontend and Backend. Taking this course was improving my skills so much.
