Great post! I had the same thoughts about the Responsive Web Design Course. I thought I was going to fly through it but I learned a lot. Especially about flexbox and CSS Grid. The projects are great practice as well.

Wooah ! the first line, 4 years seriously. For me it's been just some months and still practicing them. FCC was awesome though. It is just same as codecademy but free. Amazing post.

Thanks! It's great, I've started the JavaScript course, and that one is also good! Excited to see what else I'll learn!
