Maximiliano Firtman really is great at explaining web technology. He manages to go deep into APIs like Service Workers, PWAs, or advanced caching strategies while still keeping it practical and clear. And those “extra hints” he drops of small, real-world, insights from years of mobile and performance work are often the most valuable parts of his courses. And yes, the Frontend Masters team really leveled things up with that interactive quiz system. It makes you stop, think, and immediately reinforce what you’ve just learned. Way more effective (and fun) than passively watching a video.
Amazing Course! I've always had some problems understanding Go, but Max explains everything perfectly :)
Amazing course! It's further proof that you can build full-stack apps without using any frameworks, relying on web APIs and interactions with the DOM. The same applies to the backend: pure Go and very few libraries make this a magical experience.

This course was a huge help. I was looking for a way to build a web app without a front-end framework, and this course was perfect for that.
Amazing, I came to look at this course because I realized I was a one-trick pony with React, and this has really opened my eyes. Super content 5/5.

I took the course specifically to introduce me to Go, and I was expecting to breeze through the JS parts. However, I loved the JS part -- building a router, conditional rendering, etc., using nothing more than Vanilla JS. I am feeling incredibly motivated to spend a few days working from 'first principles' to explore how far we can push the platform without reaching for a big UI library, and I feel much better equipped now to be able to thoughtfully select the best approach for the job going forward.
