Each section is well explained in full detail. The code samples are easy to follow and the examples dig deeper into the lecture main points.

I was stuck on a problem for work, this was a massive help, super grateful I found it. Some things didn't work as it's an older course, however all the answers you need are in the Q&A.

Teilweise keine Erklärungen zu den Funktionen von jQuery gebracht. Aber ein guter Einstieg in die Verwendung von json Datensätzen.

Most courses either focus on frontend (javascripts) or PHPMysql.
So I was confused how to make both work together.
This course was exactly what I needed. and in only 2hours.
He explains concepts quite well

Course was direct and to the point. As to not distract from the objective, very basic HTML and CSS was used in examples. The course was a bit cursory towards the end and could have provided more examples especially with interaction of user forms and the database.

Overall, though a good basic beginners course.
