jQuery & JavaScript Course Reviews

Janina
The course was very good, well constructed and really gave the tools to start using.,Good exercises, hand outs and always answers questions so you fully understand,a lot i shall be able to start using in my work and develop new projects after a lot of practice!

Peter Langley
Well structured and contains current industry examples of JavaScript and jQuery usage. it is a fast paced course, so make sure you've read up/used some JavaScript/jQuery before. And your HTML and CSS skills should be fluent to keep up with the tasks.,The trainer was very knowledgable, and could answer all questions. He clearly has a lot of experience in Web Development. Plus he had good humour (!!) and I felt comfortable to ask any queries,Points me in the right direction for further learning. Sets me up with industry standards and 'the best way to approach things'. e.g. how to debug & test scripts and a good list of resources were provided.

Terry
I enjoyed the course very much and up have a clearer understanding of jQuery and Javascript,I found that the trainer was very knowledgeable about the subject, who's skills and communication was fantastic.,The additional knowledge will am sure help me in any future roles, and give me a clearer understanding.

Allaina
Very useful, I learnt the basics to help me go on and learn some more about JavaScript and Jquery.,Very good, he is very knowledgeable and helpful.,I will now be able go create better dynamic websites and applications

Alan
covered pretty much everything I needed to cover - comprehensive and ,Knowledgable, flexible and adaptable. Pleased that we will have Emil for the follow-on course (HTML5/css3),very relevant - hands on with the technology Monday morning - now with more confidence that I have 'good practice' and eliminated bad habits

Andrew
It helped cement my current understanding of Javascript and jQuery, and gave me a basis to build on in my own studies and usage of it.,Emil was insghtful, entertaining, and careful to make sure everyone understood the exercises before moving on.,- Having a better command of Javascript and jQuery to manipulate the company's website without access to the source code - Using JS/jQ to build more dynamic websites in future roles and my own personal use

Nigel Messenger
It was a perfect introduction to the subject, and I found the course fun as well as useful.,Very experienced, clear communication and understanding, and great disposition.,I will now be able to better understand my colleague's work for support/maintenance, and start to produce my own.

Dimitra Dimitropoulou
Very structured and interactive. Good explanation of the basics but also loads of resources to create advanced material. Size of group pretty good, enough time to explain things one-to-one but also move relatively fast.,Good communication skills, even javascript was almost fun during this course. A lot of patience but also good ability of making things move along. Loads of experience and also had personal interest in the subject, which made the class excited about the tools we were learning about.,Improve my abilities to assist my team in re-structuring our websites; as a front end developer who also works on some back end building, it is extremely useful to have a good foundation in scripting languages.

ieva
The course was very useful. It made me realize that JavaScript and jQuery can make a huge difference in the websites appearance and functionality. I was very pleased with the course.,The trainer seems to be a professional, easy going guy always willing to help.,I hope I will enhance the websites I'm working on a lot. The websites will be more user orientated, flexible and nice.

Raymond Belone
Despite having a years worth of teaching myself. There were still bits and pieces that I was struggling with. Since being on this course alot of subject matters that I did not know, that I did not know to know appeared, which has vastly increased my understanding.,Excellent,I now have a much better idea on how to solve some current javascript / jquery issues at work. And should speed up my development work and increase / improve the look of the intranet site that I am currently working on.

Bernadette
It was very informative and well presented,Excellent, he was also very patient with those students who were not up to speed.,Has improved my knowledge and will enable me to improve my company's website

Robert
Good introduction - confirmed previous experience, gave a much better grounding rather than self-taught.,Good communication - I personally welcomed the good fast pace it was delivered at. Didn't feel like I was wasting time.,Give a better grounding for building from scratch with Javascript - cleaner code and more efficient visualizations could be built in the future

James Bayliss
Good. Reasonably fast paced. Seemed to cover the key basics, of JQuery, new to me at start of course, but also did absolute basics of JavaScript so all were up to speed before the more complex elements.,Good. Happy to come and check code problems if needed. Did flick between coding files quite quickly on occasions while students were copying coding, but have raised this as a concern. ,Vastly, I hope. Having just moved into a new team, doing this course so early on, will help e get up to speed quicker with colleagues, and team/personal expectations. Would also hope to apply new knowledge to studies outside of work.

Natasha
The course was very interesting and the tutor went at the pace of the slowest person which was very helpful.,The trainer was excellent often stopping to explain in different ways for those who weren't grasping the technical terminology. He also repeated things in breaks and went over the script to look for errors.,I now understand dynamic content such as banners and will be able to apply them and fix errors when things go wrong.

Shahzain
I really liked the course. The instructor was great in keeping the pace and answering questions. Began from the very basics and took us to some interesting stuff. Really enjoyed it.,He is a very intelligent and experience trainer. Communication is excellent. Answered all questions. Skills are good.,Will enable me to create own JS scripts, and to extend the capabilities of APIs.

Martin Gray
Again impressed by the course, its content and how the tutor teaches,I can find no faults with Emiliano,Make me study harder....

Owen
A fast dash through the basics of javascript and fun of JQuery. ,Very good.,It'll help me understand the javascript/JQuery we have better, read it faster and offer better options to our users.

Russell
Good introduction level content to JavaScript and some JQuery. The days could have been longer in order to fit more in.,Very knowledgable and friendly,Base level understanding of what can be achieved through JavaScript and JQuery which I can build on going forwards with self study

David
It was good. Seemed fairly thorough and Emiliano was helpful.,Good. Nice guy and lots of patience.,Help me better critique work that is put in front of me and suggest fixes.

Clive
The course was very useful at taking me from someone with no clue of Javascript - to someone who understands and appreciates the benefits of the language. It was an excellent walk through and comes highly recommended.,The Trainer was friendly informative and more importantly very helpful. It was great to have someone who clearly knows his stuff. ,It is going to assist me with development of my MBA research and in my consulting projects. I would expect to get tons of benefits out of what I have learnt.

Yasmin
I really enjoyed the course-I learned a lot!,SooJi is great :-) ,The course is already helping me.

Kathryn Stowell
very good, have enough skill and information to go away and use...I hope! ,Very good, experienced and knowledgeable...fast paced but exercises helped to embed the skills and apply with support. ,use with school website and own projects

zivile
I liked course and learned a lot.,Very good,Im web/graphic designer, so I think it should help.

Jayden Maddison
I know understand jQuery. Within four lesson that didn't last that long I learnt everything I needed to know about jQuery. To be honest I didn't think I would be able to grasp it fully in that amount of time but I have.,Emiliano was very good, he paid full attention to every student and made sure they understood each bit of what he was teaching us before he moved on.,I work in a webdesign agency and I will be using it in my day to day work life as starting literally tomorrow.

Melanie
Overall I found the sessions very helpful. The content was clearly laid out with useful analogies and examples.,Emil was very helpful and happy to stop and go over things if we were unsure. He seemed very knowledgeable and made the sessions interesting.,I need to use jQuery on a daily basis in my role. This course has given me a thorough grounding to base my work on.

Andrew
As a total beginner to JavaScript I found this to be the perfect course. It taught all the basics first and slowly built on them until we were able to perform complicated examples on our own.,You could not ask for a better trainer. His experience not only with coding but with teaching was clear to see. He always made sure everyone understood each topic before we moved onto the next one.,Although the course (coding) does not correlate to my career it is a handy skill to know.

james
good, has taught me some interesting tricks i can apply directly to my work,Emiliano is a good teacher, i have found he makes it easy to understand, goes at your pace instead of his and creates an easy learning enviroment,I am just starting out in web design so i hope this along with the HTML and CSS courses which Emiliano also taught will be the stepping stones i need

Josh
Very good and professional. Fast paced but wasn't too fast at all.,Good communications skills, well presented and interactive.,Can now confidently use Jquery and JS in my software which in turn should help my customers.

Stephanie David
Good review of JavaScript and jQuery. Up to date.,Knowledgable instructor. Very helpful.,It might. But I didn't take it for this reason. It is something I want to do anyway.
