Muy buen curso intuitivo, las explicaciones son muy claras
Elcurso tiene buena informacion que es importante para la creacion de una pajina web pero eso solo eso informacion. una persona que apenas empieze no entenderia como hacer los codes or como o donde poner cada code. creo que se tiene que obtener otro curso de como empezar una pajina web y luego pasar a este curso como segundo para mas informacion.
Es bueno, pero si ya tienes fundamentos algo avanzados, ya que explica las nuevas actualizaciones, no los lenguajes en sí y si no sabes utilizar los anteriores, te falta mucho para poder comprender bien esto.
muy buen curso facil de entender y con buenos recursos
Muy bueno!
