I freaking loved it had prior experience, even if you don't it is to complete. Truly recommend from your homie from modesto Ca. 209 representing .
It was good basic information and i have to say that as a person in web dev for years now i learn a thing or 2. So thanks for the course looking forward to the next one.
This 1st course needs some more clarifications for any Beginners.
Why React before Javascript, needs to focus more on Bootrtrap 5 & some more practicing on HTML & CSS
This is a great experience to start from the basics, the meta education team did a great job by simply starting at the beginning so that everyone can understand.
