Ariel V.
This is something I have always felt the need to learn. Since 2017 I have been “learning in the MOOC stream” but the depth of this course has been unrivalled. It has covered a lot of gaps I had in my knowledge. I love not having to use a GUI to interact with my database.
Charlie Z.
I loved it. First, the introduction was exciting and gave very detailed information about the project. Each lesson was taught in order to fulfil a knowledge gap for building the project. However, the actual project was a little misleading where the instructions were concerned. I had to go through a mentor to get the correct html.

I was very impressed by the quality of this course; the videos and the teacher’s notes. The lessons go straight to the point and the learner gets the most important takeaways at each stage. It is an amazing experience going through this Fullstack Developer Nanodegree Programme and I will highly recommend it to anybody.
