This is a lot of work! It took me a week to get through it! The coding of the project is only half of it, learning to think up and create unit tests added hugely to the amount of time it took me. But it was valuable to learn that! And I haven't worked directly with HTML much in forever, so it was learning so much more than just how to code this project. Big, big lift, but worth it.

A big step up in difficulty, with submissions that do not rigorously test understanding and implementation

One of the greatest courses on the platform. At the level of syntax or features, it does not have many new things—mostly operations on the OS file system. But where it shines is in guiding you through putting together a whole project. This is one of those projects that I can say 'has something interesting; it is not just a tutorial. It is built, and I can show it off any time.'

Really loved it! Helps you see how you organize a project, to use and get used to the doc and very satisfying.

I did not leave 5 stars for this course because I enjoyed it. Frankly, I did not. However, I learned a lot about building a difficult project and I think if you're serious about becoming a software developer, this course is a must. Humble yourself and ask for help. You will need it. Also it's spelled "tolkien" FYI
