All of this feels a bit overwhelming, right?
Don't worry, you're not alone.
I am Jonas, and I am your instructor.
Believe me, coding doesn’t have to be
hard, or scary, or boring.
I'm here to guide you step by step
and to help you with everything I can.
I really want you to be successful with this course,
and I know how you feel because I've been
exactly where you are right now.
I started to learn web design and development
about eight years ago.
There was no such thing as you doing courses back then.
I went through the pain of going through,
I don't know how many books, and literally
thousands of online articles and tutorials.
I wanna spare you all that pain, so I picked everything
I learned on that long journey right into this course.
I'll show you everything.
I would actually say that this is exactly the course
I wish I had when I first started building websites.
Please feel free to contact me.

You can reach me on Facebook, Twitter, email,
and of course in forums of this course,
but more on that in the next lecture.
