Very high-level intro to front-end development which is exactly what I needed. However, I hate that it is AI generated. It lacks a soul as is disorienting at times. Still 4/5 overall.

I really enjoyed this course. The practice was great. I was blown away by the ability to code within the course, rather than by download. I did download the IDE to practice on my own.

Here's my impression of this course: "In this module you will learn about paintings. A painting is a visual depiction of a concrete or abstract object, represented on a two-dimensional surface with oil, acrylic, or water-based paints. You will now have the opportunity to practice making paintings: color all the number 1's with blue and all the number 2's with red. You have now learned how to paint and have developed the skills and abilities necessary to present and exhibit your work in museums. You are on your way to becoming a Dutch Master." Only slightly better than useless. One gets the impression that this course was developed by someone who has never had to teach anyone anything.

The specialization "Meta Back-End Developer Professional Certificate" contains peer-graded assignments, which get stuck at "Grading in progress" and the course cannot be completed!

I signed up for an Introduction to Back End Development course, however this course was for INTRODUCTION TO WEB DEVELOPMENT and had a focus on front end development.

This is not at all "back-end development" focused. The entirety of it is basics of web technology, and then frontend stuff.

extremely bad CX. From Meta I expect better quality, and people who understand the topics.
