This course exceeded my expectations! As someone with zero coding experience, I was worried it might be too difficult, but Michael breaks everything down in an easy-to-understand way. The projects were challenging but doable, and I now feel confident building my own websites. Highly recommend!

Great course for beginners! The content is comprehensive and well-structured. I especially appreciated the section on CSS Flexbox - it finally clicked for me. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that some of the JavaScript sections felt a bit rushed. Overall, still an excellent course that helped me build a solid foundation in web development.

As someone who tried to learn web development through scattered tutorials online, this course was exactly what I needed. It provides a structured path from the basics to more advanced concepts. The instructor explains everything clearly and the hands-on projects really help solidify the learning. I've already built a portfolio website using what I learned and landed my first freelance client!
