Great explanation, easy to follow! It also helps to repeat Python language and simultaneously prepping to the Javascript language.
Many thanks to Dr. Chuck for making courses available for everyone! -
Love it. The course guides you step by step through the basis of web development. Each section includes an assignment which uses tools that have been studied up to that point. Dr chuck is one of the best teacher I've even had. He explain the code,…

I have been working on a couple of Dr. Chuck's courses, on Python and web applications (PHP, SQL). I had only a few tidbits of knowledge, but a lot of curiosity, when I came across Professor Severance's courses in the 4everybody series, on Coursera via UMichigan. His video walk-throughs are excellent: He has a clear knack for understanding the most confusing parts. I do wish the images with text would magnify the areas of text being discussed, but that's more of a device thing, perhaps. Anyway, thank you for contributing such a treasure trove of guided knowledge! I'm a fan.

I just completed this course and it's outstanding! It strikes just the right balance between manageable and challenging (and there are stretch goals if you want to take it to the next level). Assignments are well thought out so that you progress systematically from beginner topics to pretty sophisticated coding. Taught by the great Dr. Chuck, this course has empowered me to continue on my coding journey.

Great course! Great introduction to web applications development. Dr. Chuck not only teaches the basic content of the subject, but also shares some of his practical knowledge developing web applications at production level. Again, this is a great course completely recommended!
