It had a mixture of beginners and intermediate lessons. I would say I would come back to this as a guide. This was great for Mac Computers but unfortunately not so much as Windows Computers. All the resources were great and useful to my ability and glad they are accessible. I hope to continue and keep learning how to create my own website.

It was very interesting, a very good approach to understand how to use the terminal tools, manage version control, and the browser and text editor tools themselves

Great Course. I love the way it is designed and delivered. I learned a lot. The most important part is that I enjoyed every bit of the session and completed everything in less than a week.
