Sophie Lavoie - BCE Inc.
Course - Introduction to HTML 5
I enjoyed the whole course. The user guide was very easy to follow and the instructor was clear and walked through the examples as many times as needed for everyone in the class to be comfortable before moving on to the next section. He also took time to help refer back to the notification we want to recode so we could see how the original programmer was using the HTML / XML code that we were learning. It helped link the learning to the project we will be working on directly after the class.
