Ratings and Reviews
YOU WOULD LEARN HTML, CSS & JAVASCRIPT FROM SCRAP. VERY INTERESTING COURSE. ALL SHOULD GO FOR IT.
Pretty good course outline and structure. The focus on the CSS part was a little less, and on JavaScript a little too much. It's a good launchpad for anyone looking to get the basics of web development right!
Good, accessible content and process.

This course gives me the confidence that even being a non-programmer, I can still progress towards Web development, specially the UX part.
