5/5 Stars
Some of our group already had a decent amount of knowledge/experience going into this course, but the content was very well catered to everyone, even though it was predominantly an intro to html/css/js. The credit for this goes to the instructor, Will, who was easily able to move around different topics and answer any questions we threw at him. He made what could've been some difficult to understand concepts very simple.
