• What is the best way to learn from this course?

You can adjust the video playback speed according to your preference. I would advise you to keep it x1.5 in case I talk too slow. Also, try to challenge yourself by attempting to recreate the dribble shots at the end of the course on your own, then compare your code with the solution.

What’s next?

I’m thinking of making a course on JavaScript to complete the three main front end technologies, then move on to WordPress. After that, I may offer a course on SQL, a programming language designed for querying (accessing, modifying or extracting) information from a database.  Then, a backend server side programming language course on PHP, which allows you to dynamically place content in your html based on your SQL queries.
