Personally I did not enjoy this course. Mainly because it was a quite uninteresting thing to build. Though It was a good practice in parsing and recursive looping.

Actually demanding project and a lot of freedom were given here for user to figure things out on their own. I mean so far the best guided projects I have ever taken and there are lot of rooms here for improvement as well

wow this one was really hard but I feel so proud after completing it! Great course, learned so much. The instructions sometimes felt vague but I think that that was necessary, had to use all the baked salmon I had stored up from ages.

Very interesting course for learning how to generate webpages with HTML, and working with converting large files of text from Markdown.
