as an out and out beginner, this was an amazing experience. I need a lot more context to get the most out of the course, but notwithstanding my deficits, i learned a lot and more than i expected.

Very challenging (which is good!) But at times.. hard to follow. Definitely establishes the most basic skills that a programmer needs: Patience, Problem-solving, Research, Flexibility, and Flow.

Very upsetting that Brackets would not work for me on Windows. I really wanted to learn but the outdated program wouldn't allow me to.

The assignment in week 1 is unreasonable.

You should have told students how much time is needed to finish the assignment of week 1.
