Jon Feldman

Webucator completely demystified the otherwise ambiguous nature of JavaScript and presented it in scenarios that were easy to follow and germane to modern-day business needs. The instructor exerted every effort to ensure the students' comprehension and enjoyment of the class materials. I would highly recommend Webucator as a primary training opportunity.
