Quite helpful for the beginners. Even for those who haven't been into programming ever. Well explained lessons and examples helped me create a moderately creative and responsive web page. Looking forward to the specialization course.

This might be the perfect course for some, but it wasn't what I had hoped for. Here are a few things you should know:
1. Don't be mislead by the fact that "Responsive" is the first word in the course title. I thought the course was going to focus primarily on responsive web design (designing layouts for different size screens). That is mentioned, but it's not the primary focus of the class.
2. If you're looking for a broad overview of the main concepts of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, this is probably the right course for you. The material is covered very broadly, but not in any depth. I would not be able to write any scripts based on what I learned in this course. I'll have to find another tutorial that goes more slowly and covers the material in more depth. They do give you links to other tutorials. Personally, I feel my time would have been better spent going straight to the other tutorials.
3. The assignments are too easy. You're never asked to implement anything covered in the class on your own (e.g., writing a JavaScript command). The assignment for week 4 is just cutting and pasting some JavaScript rather than actually writing any.

A good basic course for understand what is what. After two weeks I created a mini website - http://elektrix.energia-on.pl/ - maybe not a lot, but with time I have reached better quality. In this moment I am creating a website = http://energia-on.pl/ but there is a lot of work to do on it. :)

It is a very good introductory course to HTML, CSS and JavaScript as well as libraries Bootstrap and jQuery.

However, it does not leave you with a feeling of mastery in any of these technologies. That's to be expected, of course, in the amount of time the course gives you the practice you will have done will not be much. It still must be pointed out that there is not much detailed explanation to the things going on, especially in the JS side of things as a lot of JS elements like arrays and DOM manipulation are completely left out. Hints have been left about these crucial subjects being taught in later courses of the specification but if you are looking to learn in depth/ advanced JS you're better off skipping this course.

The assignments are easy to complete and quite thoroughly explained and give you a good place to start off in order to understand web technologies and responsive design. Overall it gives what it promises and is delightful in its implementation.

A good class for those wanting to step into programming languages. Especially those, refreshing their skills after stepping away from writing code in general.

Thank you team, this course gave me feed back, on what has changed through the years.

very good job Thank you for useful information and online courses.

Dear all,
I would like to thank you so much for your kind
efforts in free learning in various fields of science.
I am looking for free grammar and writing for pre-intermediate levels with answer keys for all exercises if possible!

Outstanding class, and a perfect introduction to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The examples given are detailed, and explained well. Though there's a lot more this course could cover, for the 4 weeks it's a good deal, and gives you a good starting point to learn more on your own.

The course is implemented in an unprofessional and awful manner. Many mistakes, missing explanations, and especially the javascript part is a joke.
