What They're Saying

Good intro to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Being a backend developer for a long time, it was a good refresher. Also helpful to learn a more modern way of CSS and JavaScript. The projects were also fun to work on.

Richard Duncan

This is honestly one of the best courses I have taken in my entire career. It gave me in-depth knowledge of Linux and the command line, while also building my confidence to use these skills in real-world situations. What I gained from this course will make a real difference in my career.

Mukteswar Tripathy

Excellent material with the perfect amount of depth and resources to go deeper!

Keith Williams

I have been working with React for about two years, building freelance projects while I was in university. Now that I have graduated and am preparing for interviews, this has helped me refresh my knowledge and learn new concepts. In particular, I gained a better understanding of hooks like `useContext` and discovered new technologies, such as TanStack, with which I previously had little to no experience.

Best React course ever! Shoutout to one of the best intructors and my personal favourite Brian Holt!

Sumit Pandey

I loved this course! It opened many doors for future experiments and projects. Highly recommended for anyone curious about where AI-assisted development is heading.
