Telmo, thanks a lot for posting the vid!

I got 3 questions;

1: Was the program you took the same version to the current one?
The program seems it has changed recently to offer 8 projects from 6. And the last 2 of them are about React. The previous version doesn't seem it offers React stuff. You said '6 project or something' in the vid, so I wonder if you took the current or previous version of the program.

2: Can you name the Javascript courses that you think they didn't teach you well? What made you think that they don't teach JS well?
Teaching javascript sounds like the core part of the program. So it really holds me wait to take the program.

Here is a list of some of the JS courses from the syllabus, as a reference;
- Intro to JavaScript
- Intro to ES6
- JavaScript & the DOM
- Object-Oriented JavaScript
- JavaScript Testing
- Javascript Design Patterns
- Front-end Frameworks
- React Fundamentals

3: How long do you think it d take me to finish the program?
I have 6 month of back-end Rails development experience, having a basic knowledge of HTML/CSS and JS. I can commit full-time but I will probably can take only 3 or 4 hours/d, 18h/w. I realize myself not a super efficient worker.
In your case, It took you 3 months to finish the program, 10h/w, readily having a good understanding of HTML/CSS and some knowledge of JS as I remember.
"6 months, 12h/w people on average finish" as Udacity says. That would lead to 4 months for me.
Money isn't that much a issue for me. But time is.
Not only to study, but to make original portfolio work, plus studying back-end stuff again since I ve been away from it for a while! Too much to do...My plan was to finish all these in 6 months and getting ready to work as a freelancer hopefully mainly in front-end.

Great info. What was your tech experience before you signed up? If you had to do it all over again, would you have studied anything more before starting the course?

[TrangLe-dpjf]

I'm not so smart and have to attend college. Is Udacity for me?

[onestruggle]

Help me out here.

So, I got an ad on FB for Udacity. Should I do a prerequisite in some way (I have no experience with coding, or any tech development for that matter). Should I just dive in? Thanks.

And one more thing does it require any vm ware software installed on computer? Please reply.

Hi, How much time did it take to finish and take your Nanodegree? I have some good knowledge and skills. So please let me know if it's possible to finish Front-end development in first month? Unfortunately I don't have such money for more than 1 month.

Hey Telmo, thanks for the review! Can I ask, do you have a Bachelors degree to get your first job? and in what? Thanks :)

[johnsydney]

[SoCalBrian]

After the Udacity Nanodegree, were you able to get a job? Are you currently working as a developer? If so, what company?
