Anonymous completed this course, spending 1 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be very easy.
I would say that this is a very beginner course, so it is much better if you take this course with absolutely no knowledge about coding itself, although you have bits of information from subjects you've encountered. The lessons lacks in-depth learning... -

It is a very very beginner level course. I did not get anything from it. There is also a lot of articles inside of it that is not very good unlike videos. The videos are also always buffering, especially in HD, the servers that hosts it seems to not be good, as my internet is fine on other platforms such as Coursera.
The website is also slow and not all that intuitive, the mark as compeleted button has a slow animation and it constantly changes from completed to uncompleted even after clicked. -
