Honestly, pretty solid course. A lot of people were saying this course isn't for beginners but I would strongly disagree. I think the difficulty is FAIR, and really gets your brain thinking logically.

The example given in each video was very helpful in understanding how things work on the internet.

Overall experience was great as it was basically about basics and introduction to web development.

Very good introduction to Web-development. The course is well planned, covers the most important topics for beginners, it is easy to understand the material. Also, the course has well-described Web labs where you can use your skills and practice with HTML/CSS - there is no need to install any software or configure dev environment on your laptop. Unfortunately, there are some typos in slides and tests - but it is not a big deal.

Course is easy enough to follow.

With short videos and short readings, it's easy to complete a week's course in a few hours, a day or two.

However, some of the hands on practice can be annoying, because the feedback from the computer isn't that helpful. It then takes longer to complete the work, because of the eight hour wait time, which is good for studying, but if the error is realize, we have to wait longer to answer.

Pro: A great course to start your frontend development journey. The course is well-organized and supplemented properly with additional reading resources. The quizzes and lab practicals help in gaining practical knowledge.

Con: if you are an absolute beginner, you might want to watch a few introductory videos on YouTube or perhaps take a few LinkedIn essential courses to avoid confusion.

El curso brinda todas las herramientas y recursos bibliográficos para introducirse en el desarrollo web, pero me hubiera gustado profundizar en el uso de bootstrap y react. Por otro lado, el curso podría tener un nivel mas alto de exigencia con los quizzes y laboratorios. Aún así lo recomiendo ya que su contenido esta bien estructurado y toda su información es bastante clara.

I love the straight and simple approach used by the tutors. It gives you 25% of the skill and guides u to get the remaining 75%. I recommend the course. The certificate is quite a motivation to pursue the courses. I am happy to find a platform to support me into the journey towards software development and full-stack developer

Very interactive, simple and engaging course.

Explanation is very well presented and everything learned is easily practiced in the course lab assignments.

There are some little mistakes in, like misspellings in some words and missed intervals on some code examples.

Overall, great experience on this part of the whole course.

quando chegou na parte do bootstrap e react podia ter havido mais conteúdo sobre essas ferramentas. Por exemplo videos especificos mostrando e explicando principais tags e demonstrações de suas funcionalidades. No mais, ótimo curso, me sinto bem confiante sobre o que aprendi nesse curso , obrigado pela oportunidade!!!

I really enjoyed the course, and it explains most of the basic concepts for you from the get-go, but I'd love to have a bit more of hands-on exercises along side with the texts and explaining showing more of those concepts in action. Still, it's an excellent course to take in if you want to dive into Web development.

The course was not very challenging and certainly doesn't take 4 weeks. I am giving it 4 stars because I think it could be a great introduction for someone who has really never touched HTML or CSS and doesn't know anything about how the web works. When they say "Introduction" they really do mean introduction.

The meta front-end development is opening a good start for my development skill sets. I am a Network Engineer and I am willing to build a broad based capacity in IT. Network, Applications design, Cloud services and Security.

This course is a good start for me

Thank you Meta and Coursera

A very suitable content selection has been made for the introduction. The information is explained in a simple way that most people can understand and in an appropriate way with examples from daily life. It was very good not to use too much technical jargon at this stage (for non-native English speakers).

Ok, so my basics were definitely cleared with the help of this course. I would say that the quality of the courses are definitely high . The audio and video of each and every lecture was perfect. One star not given as it misses in-depth content of Bootstrap in my opinion and rest everything was perfect.

Overall, the course offers a solid foundation for front-end development. I like the intro to react , other libraries and how to use the documentation of bootstrap early in the specialization. The course can improve in covering basics about the internet such as HTTP, TCP/IP and web servers.

The course is good... but not truly beginner-friendly... This means if you have a little bit of previous knowledge then it's better to grasp things quickly... If you are not a native English-speaking person then it will be challenging for you to understand sometime otherwise it's good.

Great course. I am an absolute beginner looking to change careers. I am not computer literate but found the course easy to follow and I am confident that by the end of the entire course I will be ready to start getting my résumé out there and find work as a front end developer.

Great Learning platform with an accurate roadmap to learn Front-End Development. But please improve the grading system. There are plenty of unnecessary errors shown though the code is approximately right...and it affects the learning time.

Thank you, Meta, Google, Coursera. :)

This was a helpful refresher for me (a self-taught developer trying to get back into the swing of things). I could see this being a bit trickier to navigate if you are brand new to software development. There were some incorrect answers and typos in content along the way.

Classes, readings and videos are great but the company need to work on the grading system in the lab, it made me waste a lot of time doing and redoing things that were right from the beginig. All around it is a great course and I will continue my learning with it.

I feel the amount of HTML and CSS wasn't enough,

However I enjoyed learning about more sophisticated concepts like libraries, frameworks, dependencies, depedeny tree, package manager, bundling, SPA , Dynamic Content, Application Servers, Dom, Virtual DOM and React.

Overal the tutorials are a great resource for learning web development. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in learning this skill. Just that bootstrap turorial can be made more easy to understand and more examples should be included with it.

I enjoyed this introductory course to front-end development. The depth and detail seemed just right. However, I wish there was more rigor to the labs and quizzes. It would be great if some of the ungraded labs were made to be graded to offer more of a challenge.

a little difficult to understand certain aspects of the course when it was crammed in a small video (extra research about certain topics might be needed). however for an introductory course it definitely gets you started into making your very first website!
