    This course is very approachable even if you don't know Python or Django or other coding languages. It's a nice gentle introduction back into course work as well. Perfect if you have limited time.

    Massive amount of misspeaking in the leacture. Frequently using incorrect terminology contractidicting himself. Length of videos at least 2x longer than needed due to instructors inefficiencies.

    Content covered though was good. Would give content 5 stars, instructor 1 star.

    This course is good but it can become better if more focus will be on some core concepts in django like ORM or CRUD or normal django terminologies rather on HTML, CSS. But this one is also good.

    Videos are just to long, Django was not properly explained (explanation where too fast, smaller chunks would be better), right away it is just a default tutorial on django website, not worth the money and time

    I enjoyed the instructor and found this to be an appropriate speed for someone unfamiliar with django but competent in python.

    I tried this course a while back but the lesson guidance on dj4e.com specific to pythonanywhere.com appeared to be invalid. When revisiting the class, it was clear the lesson had been updated to accomodate more recent versions of django and python. While my initial experience was frustrating, it is reassuring to know that content is being maintained.

    I think the assignments and real-world practices are ingenious! The course is well-planned and provided experiences that I appreciate so much. The instructor explains concepts very well and provides background information that helps to anchor the concepts into my mind's schema. Thank you for a wonderful course experience! I look forward to the rest of the courses in this Django Specialization.

    This was my first time taking a Django course, therefore i was not confident I would be able to finish the course. However, the Instructor was very calm, thorough and interesting enough to make me regain my confidence and complete the course. i definitely feel motivated enough to take the other web development courses in this specialization. Thank you and I am immensely Grateful

    Great course. I love python, and I have always wondered how to use it for web development. Charles Severance is a very engaging and knowledgeable instructor.I found this course a little too easy if you already have python experience, but the history of the internet component is really cool.

    Overall, this course provides basic levels of web development and a little experience with Django. This is similar to the entry-level or elementary level for the web development. This course was good both as a review and a reminder of the basics of the web development. thanks

    Not much playing around with Django. But I think it's definitly good starting with basics. Quiz and Assignment are really fair. The lectures are very nice. Listening to Chuck is fun and beside the pure knowledge you get to know something about the good old days :-)

    Excellent instructor! He was engaging and the lesson are in a digestible length. Also, there was a lot of thought that went into how this course is designed which helped to make it easier to complete as you can focus on the lesson and not fight with auto graders.

    Hello This course was very good for me. Of course, I already had a little knowledge about the lessons, but the basic training and the excellent exams and my own exercises helped me to learn the basics from all those who helped me in this way. thanks

    Everything was excellent. I just got bored in CSS and HTML part but this is not because of lack of quality of course but because of my personal preference. I recommend everyone to take this course for web development.

    This is a very beginner friendly course. The instructor is one of the best online teachers I have come across and what he teaches is very clear and precise.

    If you have good knowledge of HTML and CSS, I would recommend you to skip this course.

    This is a great introductory course. I'm glad it helped me remember some HTML&CSS basics. However, you should understand that it mostly prepares you for the other courses in the specialization and doesn't explain much about Django itself.

    Excellent course that provides a hands-on introduction to web technologies like HTTP, HTML, CSS, SQL and the famous Python web framework Django. Well-paced, interesting assignments, detailed lectures all presented by a great instructor!

    It provides you with quick useful knowledge, and makes you actually complete the assignments. I will say they're not particularly easy, but it forces you to sometimes do your own research to find the documentation to solve your problem.
