I watched less than half of the videos, following every example and repeating it on my own computer. Everything was acceptable until the video number 30 "Create a view" where the instructor showed how to plagiarize HTML code from GetBootstrap.com "to save time and effort" and from then, all the following videos were about customizing the copied code to our needs. As 6 years passed by, the example to "copy" was different and difficult to follow. All those activities derailed my learning effort because what the course showed was very different to what I got following his example. Udemy should be more cautious on supervising the content of the courses they offer.

This course started off great, very good pace and good detail. However the last few videos seemed rushed without good explanation. However, it has all the elements needed to create a project.

In my point of view (Beginner) I miss some detailed explainations for better understanding the idea of special syntax when refering inside the html file to static files.
