Easy class. You have a lot of time to do the assignments and there are lots of opportunity for TA help and extra credit. It's a lot of information and you will probably have to review outside of class to really learn the info. Definitely recommended if you want to do business.

Lara is honestly super great. It really is the basics of web development. Don't let the terminology or code scare you. It intimidated me initially. You can do it. She's more than reasonable, and a caring, thoughtful person. You have her and the TAs. Very accessible outside of class - chat with them on Slack! Google things. Just take it!
