“Teacher was absolutely fantastic. Detailed explanation of not just how to code but the background knowledge that is really useful to know before learning the basics of coding. Ended up building my own website which was awesome. Instructor made it really easy to follow along and learn and you could really see his passion in the subject as well, which is always fantastic to see.”
