"Gabriel was awesome! He was very hands on and patient. He showed us everything a beginner would need to know to work with HTML and building a website from scratch. While it was a ton of information, it was very informative and we touched on what he was teaching us constantly throughout the course. He brought real world examples to what we were learning. Not only was he a good instructor, but he had magic...literally!! He did a couple tricks and amazed us all! They should call him The Fabulous Gabe"
