The fact that I can learn completely online from the comfort of my home is a game changer. My mentor is patient, knowledgeable, and will custom schedule my exercises according to my pace so I get the most out of each day. The program is recommended for absolute beginners, but you can still get good results if you have some prior programming experience. I found the program to be very in-depth and thorough, but at the same time, gentle. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The program adopts an incremental approach where you build up on your previous skills. This is good since there's no risk of overwhelming beginners with a flood of advanced topics. Although I am not exactly a beginner, but I can see this program as being beginner friendly.
You learn all the major aspects of frontend, backend, API development while following along tutorials and working on projects on your own. You can ask your mentor for help when you are stuck, and the community is getting increasingly lively recently.
All in all, a fully loaded program at a very affordable price point.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The mentors are very friendly and almost always available. The projects they designed helped me understand the different parts web development and how they all interact with each other.
