What They're Saying

I'm doing the professional track, and I've watched v8 and now v9. I like the slight restructure and the addition of testing in the intro version. I think there's something here for beginners and intermediate React users.

Brittney Galloway

Great intro to Linux and the command line! Now I'm much more comfortable interacting with a Linux environment.

Benedek Kassai

I’ve been working as a fullstack developer, cobbling together bits of frontend over the last five years. This was great for filling in the gaps in my mental models and bringing me up to speed on everything that has changed since 2020. I now feel like I can approach projects with a more complete understanding and a better eye for quality. Great refresher even for those who already have some experience with React.

Juanxi Li

Before starting this course , I watched a lot of videos on YouTube and other free resources, but it was quite tough for me to get familiar with JavaScript. This course help me to establish my fundamentals of frontend development nicely. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to become a developer. Love from Bangladesh.
