    About the Course

    This is the first course in a Coursera Specialization track involving Web Application Architectures. This course will give you the basic
    background, terminology and fundamental concepts that you need to understand in order to build modern full stack web applications. A full
    stack web developer is familiar with each "layer" of the software technologies involved in a web application, including data modeling and
    database technologies, the web server environment and middleware components, network protocols, the user interface and basic visual design
    and user interaction concepts. In this course we will learn by doing. We will start by learning the major components of web ...

    This course has amazing breath. Most other specializations are organized chronologically (i.e. Course 1: Learn Ruby, Course 2: learn about databases with rails, Course 3: Learn about HTML,CSS, JS, etc.) But this introductory course describes everything that goes into making web applications, from front end to back end and compares ruby on rails to the other major frameworks. If you're just trying to get started learning WebApps, as I was, this is very useful.

    The reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was that there weren't very useful assignments. You learn programming best from doing projects. In this course, there were a few quizes (which aren't as nearly as useful as projects) and the only projects that existed were to simply follow the steps exactly as the professor did in his videos. I think that the makers of the course are 90% of the way to a top course, they just need to add in programming assignments for each week, where you don't just follow the professor. I learned a lot from this course, but without getting the programming projects and exercises needed to reinforce the understanding, it may be hard to retain some of the knowledge.

    I was not given many options to ask for help, noris the course updated to current versions of the programs used. This led me to having to find alternative methods of completing coursework and actually understanding certain material

    The course content is a good review of the evolution of web application. The course is without any support and you are on your own. Programming assignment requires you to repeat the steps shown on the video without problem statement except for the 1st assignment. Even if you complete your assignment the auto grader will not give you full marks after meeting all the requirements as shown in the video. For the 2nd assignment - if you follow the video steps you will never pass the assignment. In the video there is foreign key relationship between User and Post as well as User and Comment Class.

    But the auto grader fails you because of foreign key enforcement in the schema, only after removing the foreign key enforcement which is opposite of the step shown on the video, you will clear the 2nd assignment.
