Why should I take the course?

In the programming world, the “big 4” often consists of Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon. To get a job at any of these companies, you absolutely MUSTknow the essentials: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. As well as this, it is becoming increasingly important to have experience with technologies such as Node.js and database systems such as MongoDB.

If you take this course, you will have nothing to worry about because we use allof these skills extensively!

Programming issues, errors, feature requests, general programming advice – it doesn’t matter, I’m always happy to help! I always aim to respond to questions within a few hours and it’s also worth noting that I’ve answered EVERY SINGLE question asked so far.

The site you create in this course will be the highlight of your project portfolio! Any potential employer who see’s this project on your resume will want to hear all about it. The reason? They know that a project like this means you’re familiar with the wide range of technical skills they need their employees to know.  

Fun!

Finally, this project is a lot of fun and I know you’ll have a great time implementing your own unique ideas as well as the ones we implement together. What are you waiting for?
