Bon cours pour les débutants qui veulent se lancer dans la construction d'un site. Dommage, qu'il ne soit pas dédié à 100% au web design. Les thématiques de l'UX et de l'UI ne sont pas abordées en profondeur. C'était ce que j'étais venu chercher. Un contenu trop généraliste qui devient superficiel, hélas. Je trouve donc que l'intitulé du cours est trompeur et aurait dû être quelque chose comme "découverte de la conception de site web et des langages web fondamentaux".
