Very good course. Only issue was the challenge I had running MAMP, and there wasn't a community in the course to ask questions (nor could I find how to Q the instructors). Content is very good though. As a suggestion, especially for a course for beginners, I thought the sections on JavaScript and JQuery moved a bit too fast without adequate rationale as to why it worked as it did (eg. functions). As a whole, I enjoyed the course and got a lot of value from it.
