  • This course offers up a lot of industry standard tips and tricks. Having played with responsive sites for a few years now, it really provided me with a surprising amount of information on DIPs, Viewports and the proper use of Media Queries. I have not seen content like this elsewhere as most courses simply iterate the syntax over and over again without explaining the why (think Code Academy). The in-browser tests used with Chrome Dev Tools for the mini quizzes was a fantastic addition that I hope to see used more often. To get the most out of this course you need a solid foundation of HTML & CSS to understand the concepts here.
  • The course is simple and informative but be wary, you need to have at the very least a basic understanding of HTML5 and CSS3. One of the projects requires a rudimentary knowledge of Javascript but the rest of the projects are very straight-forward.…

    Responsive Web Design Fundamentals provides a strong foundation for understanding how to build websites that adapt seamlessly to different devices and screen sizes. The course covers the core principles of fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries, explaining not just how to apply them, but also why they matter in today’s multi-device web environment.
  • It is a GREAT course to help you dip your toes into the ocean that is Responsive Web Design. It does not go into great depths in the things it mentions but rather eases you into the material and the ideology of RWD showing you at the same time the implementation.
    Some knowledge of HTML and CSS is required to breeze through the class, however this is , in a way , the successor to the HTML & CSS class taught in the same program so nothing less should be expected.
    For me it was an enlightening experience and I recommend it to anyone who wishes to dwelve deeper into the mysteries of Web Development!!
