Student Reviews
I didn't know what to expect but ended up really enjoying this course and finding it very helpful. The examples were enjoyable and reinforced the structure and code that was used across the three examples. I finished the course feeling like javascript code makes more sense and I am eager and more able to start my own projects. I would definitely recommend this course!
I enjoyed the course very much. It was a learning curve but I now have invaluable learnings to take away and use in my working life. It was all very clear and understandable.
John is an excellent facilitator, he explained Arrays, objects and functions very clearly. I believe that this course will help me to understand more about Scripting and CSS. Thank you so much.
John is a very knowledgeable person and sessions were really informative. I wanted to express my gratitude for the excellent training sessions that you have done. Your subject-matter skills and knowledge have been really helpful to me in understanding and putting what I've learnt into practice. The encounter has also been interesting and interesting because of your enthusiastic and positive outlook. I'm eager to return to work and give some of these a try
