TOP REVIEWS FROM WEB APPLICATION TECHNOLOGIES AND DJANGO
Django for Everybody is an amazing specialization that everyone should take and learning from Dr.Chuck is wonderful experience. Thanks to Coursera and Dr.Chuck :)
This course is very approachable even if you don't know Python or Django or other coding languages. It's a nice gentle introduction back into course work as well. Perfect if you have limited time.
It was an excellent course for me and familiarized me with web technology. The teacher was very active, and the assignments were practical and learning. I suggest this course to every body :)
