easy to follow
The best experience learning from this guy, so easy to follow The basics and I think I got alot more because of the challenges Expected to learn: To understand JavaScript - to learn how to code in JS and to put it in practice in realistic situations Likes: The way that Dave breaks everything down into digestible chunks and how he slows everything down to explain slightly more challenging code in easy to understand ways.
The material was easy to follow.
The videos are well chunked and instructor's delivery is accurate an easy to follow.
The way Mr Farland teaches the course is easy to follow, yet he dares going not only into fundamentals but some depths of JavaScript language as well.
HD videos, speed controls, effective use of code callouts made everything very easy to follow.
Everything is structured really good and the tasks are easy to follow.
I really liked thier eaching method and challege courses though It would be helpful if they had more material on basic of this course and thanks to the instructor I have good grasp on JS This course was very easy to follow, and the instructor was very plesant to listen to.

One of the best courses at Treehouse.
I have always struggled with JavaScript but after reading JavaScript & jQuery by Dave and watching the videos at Treehouse - including this one - I am starting to get a good grasp on things.
I pay a lot more for University in Italy, getting a fraction of what Treehouse offers.
In contrast, the instructors at Treehouse are educators who do things really, really well, with diagrams and very clear explanations.
This course was definitely difficult compared to any HTML or CSS course at Treehouse.
