TOP REVIEWS FROM WEB APPLICATION TECHNOLOGIES AND DJANGO
Great course to start understanding how works web application with djnago. Dr Chuck give us a little summary of HTML, CSS and SQL to keep getting high knowledge. Thank you!
Very succinct explanation of web apps basics such as Html/CSS/SQL among others. Assignments were easy but really helped solidify contents from lectures. Overall great intro.
This course is great as a starting point to learn about html, css and django. I eventually learned what happens when clicking on a link and how websites are built.
This course is very good only if Dr. Chuck is your instructor. I've learnt alot from this alhamdullillah you all should take this course if you wanna work python as framework.
