"This is the best complete web development course I've ever taken online. I can tell that the instructor (Issam) absolutely intends for his students to learn every single aspect from beginner to advanced. The course claims that no step is left out, and that is a very truthful statement. He speaks slowly enough but with purpose, and shares each process extremely thoroughly, explaining everything in great detail. Yet each video is bite-size so they are so easy to digest and follow along without becoming drowned. In addition, he responds to questions in a reasonably short time frame. I'm very happy I found Issam's course and would recommend it to anyone who wants to go from beginner web developer to advanced."
