“I felt like the previous workshops gave me a better understanding of the language. I am not walking away from the React workshop feeling like I have a good beginner understanding of it. There were frequent comments about "this is really difficult, you don't need to know why this works this way, just do it" which doesn't help with ultimately understanding the framework. Additionally, while there is some merit in being able to adapt previous code to a new framework, I disliked not having a new project to work on. I wanted to work on a fresh project that would potentially need different types of logic employed. I felt a bit hoodwinked when I saw we were just doing the weather app again.”

“While ultimately, I have walked away from this course with a much better understanding of how to create responsive design, I felt there was too much emphasis on using Bootstrap for responsive design. While using bootstrap is faster and easier, if I am taking a course, I would want to learn more about how to achieve this without the cheat. Fortunately, we still had some lessons and tips on how to do responsiveness with just HTML and CSS, but I had to do a lot of self-learning to learn additional techniques.”

“It is very useful to have someone to take you through the steps of building a project. Contains useful information and I was really happy to learn about the programs and systems used by programmers to build projects.”

“It was a good introductory course, breaking the content down into the important elements of programming. However, there can be a lot of elements in HTML, CSS and Javascript. It still requires a fair amount of self-study in order to explore the different elements available, capabilities, rules, limitations, and dependencies. Although, this can be fairly reflective of programming itself. There is so much to know that you cannot teach all of it and you'll learn it as you do it.”
