JavaScript Development Certificate

Dan brings great energy to the class and explains things in a way that just makes sense. He keeps the pace steady and makes the material easy to follow without it ever feeling overwhelming. The class content is clear, practical, and easy to follow. It covers exactly what you need without overcomplicating things. Overall, the experience was smooth and straightforward.

The SQL bootcamp was amazing! Dan taught everything in a very concise manner, and the content was easy to digest and understand. I feel very confident in my personal abilities when it comes to using SQL, thanks to Dan!

One of the things I really valued about Brian’s approach was how his projects reinforced what we learned. Rather than just completing an assignment and moving on, we repeatedly applied key concepts in different ways, which helped everything sink in. This constant practice made a huge difference in retaining the material and truly understanding how to use it. Also, he’s incredibly knowledgeable and emphasizes problem-solving over memorization. Highly recommend this course to anyone serious about learning JavaScript.

I completed the JavaScript Development with Node, Express, and MongoDB course in person at Noble Desktop in January 2025. This course helped to demystify back-end architectures for websites and web apps. I was lucky enough to have Colin Jaffe as my instructor. Colin is an approachable, fun, and passionate teacher who is clearly in a job he cares about. At the end of the course, I am confident with back-end architectures for web apps, and I can write my web apps with CRUD functionality relevant to the industry I want to work in and post them to my portfolio on GitHub. I recommend this course as a key component for anyone looking to improve their understanding of how full-stack websites and web apps work!

I highly recommend Noble Desktop and the JavaScript program for anyone who wants to get started with web development. Colin is one of the best instructors I've ever had. His way of teaching is very easy to follow, and he's very engaging with the students. Thanks to Colin, and thanks to the admin folks who he helped me sign up, it was a great experience overall.

It was great.

The instructor is great, the material is fun and engaging, and the skills you learn are powerful. I love React.js! What a neat framework, and it's so cool to find out what's inside this web dev industry staple.

It is great to learn valuable info about what's out there on the bleeding edge of the web dev industry, just as we are about to join it! The instructor really tried to get as much current industry knowledge into us as possible before completion. Colin is an honest voice of experience. He was able to answer all of our questions about the web dev industry.

I really enjoyed this course! It's informative and useful. I liked the mix of hands-on coding training and class lectures. Colin is very patient as an instructor and knowledgeable in his field.

Fast-paced and easy-to-follow lessons. You build up from small ideas to bigger projects. All modern React/JavaScript concepts.

Whew! There's a lot to learn in this course. I am grateful Colin was my guide on this deep and complex journey into communicating with APIs.

Just what you'd hope to expect from a SQL bootcamp: a great instructor covering all concepts to adequately teach the SQL computer language!

I taught myself SQL 20+ years ago. I still have the book I bought as my bible. I took this class as a refresher and realized there were a few things I didn't teach myself. I wish I took this class 20+ years ago and DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone wanting to learn SQL. I will add this to my "bible" of resources going forward. AWESOME JOB!!

The classes were easy to understand for a non-native English speaker, and Dan was awesome. He is a great instructor.

This class is really helpful in learning more about SQL. The instructor was very helpful in explaining the tasks and subjects.

This was a great class. I took this as an online class, but it was just like being in the classroom. It's a lot of material to cover in only 18 hours, but it's nice to have all of the instruction slides & files as a way to reference the topics.

I learned SO much from this class. I loved the curriculum, the demo, and the hands-on practice. I plan to take more online courses now that I’ve experienced the in-person class.

Brian has crafted the curriculum very carefully. The documents and the way he presents them prepare each student for their next steps as a programmer. The class moves fast and covers a lot of ground, so it requires focus and endurance. But it's worth the journey.

I knew very little about SQL and walked away with more confidence. I'm excited to go back and practice what I learned.

Jeannette Howell is an exceptionally knowledgeable instructor. I had her for SQL and other classes in the Data Analytics track. She brings real-world knowledge directly from the workplace. I highly recommend you seek out classes with Jeannette - I am so very impressed with her knowledge and patience.

I would suggest this course to anyone wanting to learn SQL well enough to use on a day-to-day basis in a reasonably short amount of time.

If you have the discipline to show up every day and complete projects, Noble Desktop will give you everything you need to master the fundamentals of JavaScript! I highly recommend learning a bit of programming on your own prior to taking the course, as a foundation.

I learned a ton here. Great class, and I really appreciate Brian as an instructor. You can tell he really cares about the success of his students.

I took a few courses for coding in college (HTML/CSS... nothing fancy), and every teacher I've ever had pales in comparison to Brian M. He is the reason your JavaScript course is so highly rated, in my opinion. He goes above and beyond - from staying after class to responding to messages at any hour to just simply knowing his stuff.

After 18 short hours, I can now comfortably navigate my company's database and effectively use SQL to find the data that I need. This will be a big boost to my career. Thank you, Dan and company!
