About the Course

Welcome to Introduction to Front-End Development, the first course in the Meta Front-End Developer program. This course is a good place to start if you want to become a web developer. You will learn about the day-to-day responsibilities of a web developer and get a general understanding of the core and underlying technologies that power the internet. You will learn how front-end developers create websites and applications that work well and are easy to maintain. You’ll be introduced to the core web development technologies like HTML and CSS and get opportunities to practice using them. You will also be introduced to modern UI frameworks such as Bootstrap and React that make it easy to create interactive user experiences. By the end of the course, you will be able to: - Describe the front-end developer role - Explain the core and underlying technologies that power the internet - Use HTML to create a simple webpage - Use CSS to control the appearance of a simple webpage - Explain what React is - Describe the applications and characteristics of the most popular UI frameworks For the final project in this course, you will create and edit a webpage using HTML and the Bootstrap CSS framework. Using a responsive layout grid, you will construct a responsive webpage containing text and images that looks great on any size screen. This is a beginner course intended for learners eager to learn the fundamentals of web development. To succeed in this course, you do not need prior web development experience, only basic internet navigation skills and an eagerness to get started with coding....

Very insightful. this is my first time learning computer programming and it was quite informative. i would suggest more questions are added per video followed by demonstrative examples in each video.

Not engaging. Not enough activities. The instruction is monotonous and the videos extremely basic. Google's Coursera programs are of much better quality.

This course is poorly designed. It consists mostly of videos where you watch someone explain something in vague ways, with zero interactiveness, and reading materials that often use terminology never taught in previous lessons. The programming assignments are even worse, as they are graded by AI, which frequently fails you even when the code is correct. This whole course has been extremely disillusioning, making me question my ability to even learn JavaScript. But fortunately, I have learned that it's not just me, plenty of people in the discussions have the same issue. That's why I am using Scrimba as a crutch to learn things that this course teaches so poorly. Scrimba has been way better at teaching me JavaScript than Meta's Coursera course ever did, and it's fully interactive. It doesn't consist of; video, video, video, reading, video, reading, video video, practice assignment, programming assignment, video, video, reading, video, reading, video, etc. It's impossible to learn like that, I need a more hands-on approach that doesn't involve listening and reading for hours before actually utilizing what is being taught, there is zero attempt to gain muscle memory for coding. Not only that but Meta's Coursera course tries to teach concepts without relating them to real-world objects. It makes it even harder to understand what is being taught without knowing what real-world uses these codes might have.

This course was simple. However, the content is confusing, and not correlated to assignments that you are getting through the whole process. You will understand what I'm talking about once you take python and javascript. You will spend too much time trying to figure out how to solve something that was purely explained in the videos and lectures. Also, assignments, requirements, and comments in the assignments are confusing and they throw you off later in the course (javscript and python). My advice is to take some other courses that are basic, and with better content, or you will lose a lot of time trying to figure out what to do, and their comments are throwing you off. This is for people that have experience with python and javascript. I am highly disappointed with the course overall!

Laughably bad course. Every single video and reading is so poorly explained that I just relied on ChatGPT to teach me. I would literally take the video name, ignore the video, and just use chatgpt by the end of it. They jump around from term to term and never fully explain any. In some lessons they'll bring advanced terms you have no idea about, which confuses you, only to teach you about that thing later, when it should obviously be tought before. It truly is insane that Meta, a multibillion dollar company, produced such a garbage course.

This is unbearable to watch. Absolutely no storytelling, no engaging content, even the colors of the visualisation are bland, WHO thought that using only white and gray was a good idea?! The girl in the "Introduction to Front-End Development" is depressing, I don't know who set up the lights and the background for her, you just can't bear a minute here. I feel so bad for her as she is reading the script with no idea how to tell a story, it's obvious that the team behind the course that messed up horribly.

I am a beginner and I find this course very difficult to follow. The instructor spends a lot time talking about repetitive details or how to write a specific code. But when it comes to important concepts, they are explained very briefly or very high level. I decide not to progress with this course.

This is not a properly designed course, I had some knowledge of HTML and CSS. And it's an utter waste of time. There is huge gap between practical execution of the code and reading material, if I had to just read documents and understand the topics wouldn't I just do it from w3schools?

Irrational for having peer-review assignment graded as course completion condition with compulsory long waiting time for grading process instead of instant grading!!! Severely extend duration time for getting this course certificate on purpose!!!! You****!!!!

This course does not feel like an "Introduction" - They've managed to create a course that is not well-designed and confusing. I learned more from YouTube in one day than from a few weeks of this.

Not everyone can afford the fee on Coursera, there should be an opportunity for people who can't afford to pay for the course access to at least 1 certificate during the 7 days free trial.
